I can write anywhere
Over the years of travel I’ve always made time for writing.
At school I wrote, through jobs – I wrote. Then I started writing for myself – there’s much more motivation there!
Here are some of the places where I’ve made camp and tapped away (‘thumped’ Noel says) on the keyboard.
Isla de Cocos – note the wet trousers (from the knee down) we were anchored out and dinghied in avoiding the sharks nipping at our feet and stepped out of the dinghy too early!
Magdelana, Mexico
In a TSR (Travelling Stock Reserve) while trekking with our 5 adopted horses – just Noel, me, our 5 boys and the occasional bit of writing!
One of my favourite pictures – sailing (and writing) in my slippers along the NSW coast. On board our first boat Mariah II
Renovating our 1920 Dutch barge in France. In the background was welding, grinding, hammering etc – it was bedlam and very hard to work/live in the same room as the renovations! (Love the jim-jams!)
On board Mariah II again, traversing The Great Loop – a year long adventure through the USA and Canada that I still miss today!
On board our Dutch barge again – with Lily the cat who adopted us! And we’re still renovating.
In NSW, Australia – we are dismantling an American Barn. Part-way through the process…. I tap away!
Where do you/can you write?

You’ve been some amazing places. I would agree that just getting out and about is an amazing way to invigorate one’s love for writing because there’s so much to stimulate the senses (compared to sitting at the kitchen table).

Wow, such awesome pictures and places to write! It must be exciting to be able to write in so many different places and even on boats. It’s hard for me to write, even though I’ve always been a writer, I can write with background noise and chaos but not in places that I don’t feel comfortable. Libraries can be good but it takes me a while to get acclimated, and parks are the same but I have done well in both kinds of places. I prefer to write at home or in someone else’s house that I feel comfortable in.

Thanks for your comment – yes, I am well travelled and have been blessed to be able to visit wonderful places. I still needed quiet when I wrote, nowadays though I find background noise bothers me less than silence!

Arghhh humidity…just came back from Cape Tribulation area…so gorgeous! Living with 90plus% humidity over the past 5 months just had to view it that people pay to sit in a sauna to clear their skin….it’s free up here! hahaha
Hey there are places who cry for rain, you are at the end of the Great Divide and water will not be such a problem. What town is your place near?
Sure will let you know when I’m down that way gain. Heading to NT soon.
