Find Easy Paths To A Medium Writing Campground Oasis

Let nature give you an escape sometimes

It’s not always easy being a writer.

If you’ve been around a while, you probably know the feeling when you finish one story and it’s only a matter of time before you have to start on the next one. Time goes both slow and very fast, and at the same time.

But this is what we do. Content creators go about creating new content and hopefully it can connect with an audience.

If writing is starting to become a chore or task after a time, then maybe you need to escape to an oasis and relax for a while. It’s something that I definitely recommend because it can help the mind relax and get back to the fun part which is writing anything that your heart desires.

I love camping. More accurately, I love the photos and images I see of empty campsites, beautiful sunsets, lovely hills and exceptional relaxation.

• “There’s fresh air."
• “Nature is waiting for us."
• “You can hear all kinds of animals."
• “The vistas are spectacular!"

Okay, maybe the reality isn’t quite what you pictured in the head when you decided to go. It’s been a long time since I went camping and the reasons have to do with cost and overcrowding.

What does any of this have to do with being a writer?

Well, let me explain.

My goal is to get myself to a writing relaxation zone or an oasis. When I get there, I find that I can just be where things are wonderful, beautiful and natural.

I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to do. I can make a fire and cook anything at all. I can ride a canoe and watch for animals. I can hike a trail or swim in the lake.

This writing oasis is a stress-free place with no restrictions. You can do what you want to do and have maximum fun and joy.

Like the perfect campground off the beaten path, this Medium campground oasis is in a different location for each of us and that’s fine. You just have to find the perfect spot that is magical for you.

How can you find this zone where you get to feel most comfortable and relaxed? Well, I have a few suggestions.

• Let things flow. I’ve discovered that I feel best as a writer when I am not forcing anything. I don’t want to struggle.
• Make it enjoyable. Think of something fun or exciting and go with it. Don’t worry if it is going to be too distinct or one-dimensional.
• Close your eyes. I did this a lot during my time in campgrounds. The process seemed to connect my soul to the wild open natural environment.
• Build a fire. No, not a real one. Build a story bonfire where you add more details and info so that it keeps better and more interesting as the fire gets stronger and more powerful.

Do your best to find your writing oasis, that place where you are in a writing campground up in the nearby mountains and close to the rivers. Settle in there and set up camp for the night.

When you feel that your writing oasis is perfect, then pounce on a story and make it great. Later on you can tell your writer friends how you caught a ten-foot story and how it almost broke your ultra strong fishing pole as you reeled it in to shore.
