Writing????

It's all very well when people say that travel is a great way to be stimulated enough to write but I find that often it is too busy and noisy. Whether it is the actual travel or simply the busy-ness of being in a new place.

I find the best part is simply being still at home. As I look through notes and papers - THAT'S when the ideas begin to flow, words begin to float around and wait to be captured.

The BLOG is a great way to form ideas [even if they are not written] as writing to the screen is almost like automatic writing. A good way to focus.

The Kindle that David gave me for Christmas has been/is the most fantastic gift. Instead of my usual panic to choose books to take away I simply loaded books onto the Kindle and had 24 ready and waiting for my holiday read. No weight and instant reading matter.

The interesting thing is that I chose some books that I would certainly not purchase, but to my surprise enjoyed. Although it is rather frustrating that we cannot download all the Kindle books available and some authors are not 'e-booked' yet Kindle is a great new toy to carry around with you. Do you think Amazon will pay me advertising???
