Writing.Com General Discussion

J. M. Kraynak My travels give me new ideas and images (works for poetry and short stories); however, I do have to agree that it can also stifle writing.

I write best in silence when I'm depressed or when sights and sounds and smells impel me to put pen to paper and scribble my vomit down (to be cleaned up later).

Travel... takes a lot out of me. I just got back from Malaysia/Thailand. Moving from bed to bed every 2-6 days takes mental and physical effort. I learned a lot but I was worn out in less than 2 months.

I took hundreds of photos (more effort) that I'll later use to evoke memories (but lost a couple hundred when I lost my camera). I didn't write down as much in my blog as I should have.

I hope that your renewed creative juices lead to new writings.
