Another Terribly (Un)Important Thought On Writing…
On January 23 I shared an initial “Terribly (Un)Important Thought” on writing. 😉
Here’s another — and subject to the same codicil: ‘from my experience of the art’ (which may not reflect anyone else’s.)
We hear a great deal about the importance of routine and writing every day — and while I don’t deny that having a routine is important, I actually think mixing it up with a change of scene or variation of the conditions in which we write, but particularly locale, can be equally beneficial, if not vital, to stimulate creativity and help us see the story with fresh eyes. It doesn’t have to be a ‘here and back again’ epic journey either: even a weekend — or better, a long weekend — away, only with the notebook, can deliver benefits.
