Escape From the City: Social Distancing Vacation

Escape From the City: Social Distancing Vacation

With everything that is going on in the world right now, it is becoming more and more difficult for me to stay creative and productive while being cooped up at home. Prior to the pandemic, we had planned on vacationing in Miami but of course with how things turned out, the trip was cancelled. Instead of falling into a pit of melancholy, we decided to use the social distancing to our advantage and completely remove ourselves from society for a week. We rented a small chalet in the middle of nowhere about 40 minutes from Quebec City and I eagerly packed bags to get out of Toronto.

My Writing Rituals

As much as I love what I do, Iā€™m the first one to admit that writing can be hard! Sometimes, all you want to do is binge shows and eat garbage food. On the days when I am less than fully motivated to hit the laptop and get some words down, I have a few rituals and routines that I follow to get me in the mood to write.

After all, sitting down to write is almost like a date with myself. A very labor inducing date but a date nonetheless.
