Sunday Session – take a day off writing and find some inspiration to recharge your creative battery.

Today it is time to abandon your computer, leave behind your iPod and your mobile phone. Leave words behind. Take time to appreciate other people’s creations. Visit a gallery, go see some live music, watch a theatre production. Whatever it is, let it be three-dimensional, instead of on a screen or on a page. If you manage to stop staring at screens and words, you will let your other senses absorb the world and experience it differently. When it’s time to come back to writing again you might be renewed by a new rhythm or a new approach.
