In less than a month, I will be holed up in a cabin-like getaway, somewhere just north of Nashville, for a 48-hour intensive weekend of writing. I assume I will be spending that time making progress on the book I have promised to finish this year. But I’m trying to stay open to what God wants me to accomplish. 

I’ve never dedicated a serious chunk of time to writing. It’s always been something I do when I steal a moment from the chaos of life. I’m excited about what I might be able to get done with 48 hours. I’m also trying not to put too much pressure on the situation. Nothing worse than catching a case of writer’s block an hour into a weekend of writing. Sitting there, staring at the blank screen, waiting…and waiting…

Biggest challenge will be not to psych myself out. I know this will be positive. Lots of writers do this sort of thing with great success. Trusting that God will make it what it needs to be for me. If nothing else, it will be an opportunity to hear from Him and be still.

Wish me luck.
