It's the first Wednesday of the month, which means it's the posting day for the Insecure Writer's Support Group! Click here to learn more and sign up!
Not gonna lie, life has been pretty hectic lately. I don't think I would be able to sit down and write even if I wanted to. You know, because I TOTALLY would have done some writing if I wasn't stressed out, right?? That's definitely the only thing stopping me...
I feel like I desperately need a vacation, not just from work, but like an actual getaway. I need to go far far away and just enjoy myself for a little bit.
Well, good news for me, I have a trip coming up at the end of the month!! Hubby and I are going to New Orleans for a whole week. I haven't been away from home for more than two nights in a long time so I'm really looking forward to it.
The main reason we're going is to see Taylor Swift! (Don't ask me how much I paid for tickets...) It's also a city I've always wanted to visit so we're going to make the most of the week there doing things we've never done before. And probably eating and drinking quite a bit.
I've been a big Anne Rice fan since I was a teenager so I always wanted to visit her hometown and see all the places that inspired her. I'd like to visit her grave site as well (did you know all graves in New Orleans are above ground?). We're also going right before Halloween so I'm hoping for some extra spooky events and we'll probably take some kind of haunted tour.
All in all, it should be a great time and I'm really looking forward to it. Do I think that visiting one of my favorite author's hometowns will somehow inspire me to get back into writing? Not really, but you never know, right? I'm just really looking forward to being many many miles away from home and just having a great time for a whole week. Maybe destressing will lead to the inspiration coming back.
That's great your husband and you have a trip planned. And it's hard to be inspired to write when you're going through lots of stress in your life.
ReplyDeleteGoing to see TS is like one of the best dreams I ever had:) I hope you find wonderful inspiration and feel to write again.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Always wanted to visit New Orleans. Be aware of your surroundings while there - it is the crime capital of the country. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteThere're so many things in New Orleans to inspire you. Or scare you. There's a creepy Voodoo shop that my husband wanted to check out when we visited. I stayed outside. But oh, the food! And cool that you're going to Ann Rice's grave. Have Fun!
ReplyDeleteNew Orleans! How fun. There is a bar down on one of the main streets that sells drinks in glowing skulls. Go enjoy one for me.
ReplyDeleteYou may find a lot of story inspiration in New Orleans. It's a very cool city to visit. Hope you have a fantastic time. Enjoy the concert and have a beignet for me!
ReplyDeleteHave a great time! I've been there several times, and everything is enjoyable to see and do. Laisse les bons moments rouler!
ReplyDeleteI love New Orleans though I haven't been for years. Have a lovely time and I hope you get recharged for writing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip! I've been to New Orleans twice thanks to my in-laws living in Mississippi so it's like a day trip for them.
