Just What I Needed

Do you ever get in a funk? You know. Where you have a list of things that need doing, but all you want to do is sleep or read or just be lazy in general?
It doesn't even have to brought on by anything in particular, although it can be made worse by things like rejection letters or facing edits. Yes. I might know that from personal experience.
​Anyway, I was there. Last week. And it was fairly good timing for it. Because we had a retreat weekend scheduled.
When I say "writing retreat" please know that there isn't usually much writing accomplished. At least, not by my Once Upon a Page girls. Instead, we knocked out a ton of videos for our YouTube channel since it's hard for us to find time to get together and do it as much as we'd like.
But we did invited a few other authors to join us. And I think they wrote at least a few hundred words. ;-)
And we played games, ate food, and laughed ... A LOT. Oh, how I needed to laugh like that. We're talking ab workout style laughter. It was glorious.
So, now that I'm back to reality, am I in a better place and out of my funk?
Well, not completely. Because I wore myself out driving to Illinois and back. And didn't get nearly as much sleep as I normally do.
But I am in a good enough place to be able to get some stuff done today. And I can face the edits coming my way later this week. So, definitely worth it.
What do you do to pull out of a funk? If you had a chance to get away for a few days and surround yourself with others who are like-minded, would you take it?
