Quarantine Creativity

So…a lot has happened since I last posted about my awesome trip to Nashville with my sister! Or, I guess in a way, a lot hasn’t happened, since we’ve all been stuck inside our homes watching Tiger King.

Despite not posting on this blog in like two months, I’ve been leaning heavily into creativity, particularly writing. No, really! I swear! My novel has provided me with much-needed structure in my quarantine days, as I have goaled myself at writing 2,000 words a week and have actually achieved that goal over the last month.

In addition to the structure, it has also provided me with a way to escape up the California coast with my characters. Despite sitting on my coach…every…single…day…and…night, I feel I’m kind of going on a camping adventure with some pretty awesome people. I wake up every day thinking about what they’ll get up to and then get to create that experience for them.

And, for some reason, I decided to make my protagonist a photographer, so I had to learn the craft myself and recently purchased a Canon EOS Rebel SL3. I am currently enrolled in a photography course on Coursera and just submitted my first assignment called Quarantine Creativity (a photo of my roommate taking a photo of me while we drink lots of bourbon). Expect to see quite a few more photos on this blog moving forward. And likely more references to bourbon.
