I’m taking myself away for five days of walking, reading and writing in a quiet coastal location. No workshop facilitating, no marking, no one-to-one tutoring, no performing, no internet, no emails, no Facebook, no blog. I thought about going with a predetermined writing plan as I have quite a few projects-in-progress that need to worked on, but finally decided to go with no agenda and just see what emerges.
My backpack is brimming with some delicious books that I’ve been saving up for this trip, some rather less delicious waterproof walking gear and lots of good old-fashioned notebooks and pens.
I’ll let you know how it goes (and catch up on other things that I’ve been meaning to blog about, including last weekend’s visit to the Ledbury Poetry Festival) when I’m back.
Really did have a wonderful time. (I agree, Michelle – it should be every six months at least!)
Looking forward to seeing you at Polyverse too, Carol – are you going to be there throughout the Festival?
Hope you have an enjoyable time. Look forward to saying hello at Polyverse.
I was going to say exactly what Sue said … blissful. And I'm sure productive! Getaways like this should be compulsory at least every six months.
sounds like bliss. hope you have/had a wonderful time!!
We all need to be unplugged. Enjoy!
