Travel, when and where you can is sometimes the best inspiration for a story. It’s good to disconnect your body and mind from familiar surroundings and venture out on occasion; believe it or not you don’t need to venture far, sometimes a simple weekend getaway is enough for me to return with my creative batteries fully charged; my mind full of words ready for the page. In all honesty though, even when that kind of inspiration does not show itself right away, after a break from the familiar, I am still a happy camper.
