Written in an engaging, witty style, this book shows how to connect with one's outer and inner landscape by keeping a travel journal as a practice. In 14 chapters from "Having a Great Time, Wish I Were Here" to "Every Exit Is Also an Entrance," "Writing Away" shows how to slow down and commit to the present moment, nurtures honesty and creativity, motivates the inner artist to discover creative material every step of the way, and demonstrates how traveling -- while keeping a journal along the way -- is the world's most valuable writing exercise. In more than 50 thought-provoking, experimental exercises, author Lavinia Spalding teaches readers to embrace mishaps in order to enrich the travel experience, recognize in advance what they truly want to remember, tap into their senses, overcome writer's block and procrastination, and tackle the discipline, routine, structure, and momentum that are crucial to the creative process.
