We take the phrase “Christmas season” literally here in the Forest. The decorations are finally coming down today. In a lame attempt at our defense, we had Christmas visitors until last Sunday.
The snow is deep, the wood is dry, the dogs are cuddly. Much of life now is hunkering down for serious reading and writing.
Like oldest daughter Stef is doing here.
People have begun to order sweatshirts from the Mad Woman in the Forest Store. These sweatshirts keep you warm AND have magic threads of inspiration woven into them. Don’t believe me?
We sent a sweatshirt to aspiring author and musician Rebecca (seen above) in the UK and she credits it with helping her compose the original song she’s playing in this video. (I do love this song, don’t you?)
What am I doing to stay inspired? Reading poetry. Swimming (indoor pool, thank you). Running. Free-writing.
What are you doing to stay inspired this winter?
