invitations (blog) – Page 2

Look at a tree. Write what you see.

Seasons are changing and often we can see the shift in the trees. Even in places where trees tend to stay the same, there are subtle changes.

Of course, if there’s something else tugging at you—write that instead!

*Remember, you don’t have to accept this invitation…but I do hope you will accept the invitation to write. Sharing our stories is magical.

Grace is available if we choose to accept it.

It is simple. Open the post box. Write. Share. If you want some inspiration, here is a quote that rings in my mind in the hard seasons. I only know it because Christy Rush-Levine shared it with me many moons ago.

open invitation no. 62: outside

Go outside and write.

Today it is raining and I went outside to write. The air cleared my mind; the rain washed away the cobwebs. It’s special to go outside and write. Try it.

open invitation no. 61: big

Write about a time something felt big.

Sometimes it is easy to forget that the world is big and I am small. Humans don’t like to be small, because it is easy to believe that small is insignificant.

It is not.

Rather than thinking about the small matters, the beautiful details of tiny experiences and objects, consider writing about a time something felt big. A big sky, a big moon, a big mountain.

It can be literal and inspired by nature, or it can be figurative. Of course, you can write about something else entirely. The point is to write and to share what you write.

open invitation no. 60: oops

Sometimes things go haywire.

Even the best laid plans and the most honorable intentions can be derailed from time to time. The important thing is we pick up and keep going. If it’s been a hot minute since you’ve shared a story, remember that it’s okay. You can always make space to write this week.

open invitation no. 58: Scents

Adding scent to your writing makes the reading experience more powerful for the reader.

Recently my friend gave me a diffuser. I added it to my studio and have been dropping lavender essential oil in the well. Each time I work as a writer I turn it on. Months later, the scent of lavender is a cue for me to start working as a writer.

This detail gives you new insight into my work space. Even if you’ve seen pictures of my studio and know that it is just the fancy name I’ve given my oversized laundry room where I create, you can imagine a more-real version of my workshop.

Scent is powerful. It is something that can cue habits and recall memories. Let’s use it as writers, too, and pull people into our scenes. The invitation this week is to add a little scent to your writing…it just makes “sense” (wink).

*Remember, you don’t have to accept this invitation…but I do hope you will accept the invitation to write. Sharing our stories is magical.
