au revoir writing in the woods

i'm heading back to dc and stopped to download oodles of e-mails from the past few days. wanted to say a BIG merci beaucoup for those of you who passed along your self-care and style suggestions via facebook. if you didn't have a chance and have one (or three) to share, please pass it along. i was able to write approximately 9000 words (1/4ish of the book) so the week was productive. sad to leave the space as it has served moi well over my past few jaunts and i heart the owner, trudy.

before i hit the road, i wanted to share a few writer's quotes to help inspire your own inner muse:

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. ~Sylvia Plath

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. ~Henry David Thoreau, Journal, 19 August 1851

My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living. ~ Anais Nin

wishing you a weeked filled with expression . . .
