I tried out my new writing place on Friday, and I think it’ll work well.
It’s good to be around other people, but not focussed on them, when I write. It’s as though they feed my imagination – maybe it’s an offhand comment or a quirky smile or a laugh that reminds me of something; whatever it is changes my writing and the experience of writing.
It also takes me away from the norm, bringing new stimulus into my consciousness, which in turn helps shift around my ideas until the words slot together like a jigsaw puzzle.
I have written in all sorts of places, and it’s the mix that I need to get right…
So now I have a new place to write, I have moved on to a new poem. It’s currently called The Herald but that might change once it’s completed. I’ll worry about that when it’s done! I want to get the first draft completed before I head off on holiday next week, so watch this space!
That’s all for today – I am still in the write/revise process albeit for a different piece, so it’s all searching for the right word and being irritated when I can’t find it! Not much excitement yet, but just wait until I get that perfect word!
Happy writing,
EJ
