There really is no place like the North East of England. From Sea to Mountains to Rivers, all sorts of natural beauty are on our doorstep.
I am travelling next week and since waking up this morning, I have been preoccupied with my packing and felt exhausted without doing much. Sometimes mental pressures can make one more tired than physical work. My husband insisted on going for a walk. I was running out of excuses and finally gave in. We went out for a walk.
Being in the fresh air and getting the heart rate up, made me realise that I definitely needed this break and it did a world of good to me.
These types of walks have always helped me to clear my head. Mostly looking around at small villages gives me great ideas to work on for my writing. I start building on these ideas, and sometimes I will come home and write everything down. The most accomplished time of my day is when I have done some writing with some new ideas.
Seeing two ducks in the river today, brought me various memories with my children and I came back to write a story. I will share it someday when I am satisfied with it.
What do you do for inspiration for your writing? What gets you going? Do you sometimes have too many ideas, that you forget a few, as I do?
