Ingredients for a Creative Refill

As a writer, I find inspiration in many things, but being out in helps to refill my creative well in a way nothing else does.

I spent a lot of time on my writing retreat hiking trails in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
I didn’t spend much time writing outside. I was too busy soaking up the beauty.

The air was clean, the sky was clear, the water was cool.
(I know about the water because I MAY have slipped into a stream on more than occasion, lol.)
