I think I write better when I read, so I try to get some reading time in wherever I can. At least3-4 days per week. But life gets in the way sometimes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358827139946367507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-88051477871542370292016-12-23T06:22:22.759+11:002016-12-23T06:22:22.759+11:00Nice to have you drop by, Anna!

I'm so pleased with it.<br /><br />Yes, I know you like the sea too, and walks! What a great way to get inspired. I must admit I don't find music particularly inspirational for my writing but maybe I haven't focused on it enough. Yes to the reading too.

Go you. :-) And I really envy you your lion fountain -- love it.<br /><br />I don't think it's any secret that I find the beach a wonderful source of inspiration. Reading and music are splendid for relaxation too. And nice ambling walks. May plenty of these feature in 2017! :-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-33258520780241106352016-12-21T10:26:58.155+11:002016-12-21T10:26:58.155+11:00Ah, Laurie, I'm with you on the gardens.
