A change of scene does wonders, especially after all the work and excitement of launching a new book.
Writing a book is hard work. Even though it is very challenging, we know it is what we were born to do. After we’ve written the book, edited it, submitted to a publisher, had discussions about cover design, created the back cover blurb, obtained reviews, networked, self-promoted, updated the websites, promoted on Instagram, Facebook and Word Press, organised a launch and readings, it’s only natural to find ourselves exhausted. Before our batteries are totally flat, we need to give ourselves permission to take some time-out. We need to walk away from the desk. Do something that will breathe fresh life into our work and feed our creative souls.
After the release of THE USUAL STORY, I caught a train to the seaside town of Kiama and had two days to walk by the ocean and breath in the fresh sea air. Fantastic.

I’m exhausted after that long list of stuff we do. Yeah you’re right, but it sounds a lot worse lined up like that.

exactly Jennie. living near the centre of Sydney like i do, it’s great to get away from car fumes and city noise. nature and beauty are the perfect antidotes.
