My work-in-progress is partly set in Tuscany, but I actually wrote the first draft of the book before I got to visit it! For me, it doesn't matter which way round it happens, as long as I get to write and travel!Savita Kalhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07977368691995933130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879471721147949241.post-14978867180175222992011-09-02T20:06:12.896+01:002011-09-02T20:06:12.896+01:00I saw some of Gormley's sculptures/installatio...I saw some of Gormley's sculptures/installations in London along the South bank years ago. It was very surreal seeing these statues perched on the edge of buildings or the middle of Waterloo Bridge. I often choose places to go to and afterwards realise that I went to those places to check stuff out!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533913253403252799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879471721147949241.post-77359754228406733372011-09-02T16:33:09.361+01:002011-09-02T16:33:09.361+01:00I agree, I just find travelling anywhere away from...I agree, I just find travelling anywhere away from home can get me writing. Something about that old restlessness I suppose.Miriam Halahmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841164190139769948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879471721147949241.post-21890763281161681552011-09-02T13:40:24.320+01:002011-09-02T13:40:24.320+01:00Beautiful post Mariam.

As a writer I never know where my inspiration will come from - I don't try and force it by e.g. travelling to a specific place, but if it does turn up, I'm very grateful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
