Italian writing: living in a new country should provide the perfect inspiration to writing – yes? New experiences, new people, new language, new food. However, it doesn’t seem to be working and I’m still halfway through the novel I started as part of NaNoWriMo…in 2011. Bought Julia Cameron’s ‘The Artist’s Way’ and have started writing Morning Pages each day so at least I’m writing something. And have done my first blog post in over a year!
Italian living: I recently visited Nemi, a small town about 18 miles away from Rome in the Alban Hills, overlooking Lake Nemi, a volcanic crater lake. Nemi is known for its miniature wild strawberries grown on the side of the crater, which creates a warm microclimate. The strawberries are particularly good when topping off custard tarts (a Nemi speciality) or when made into strawberry liqueur (tastes even better with prosecco!) Nemi is a great place to mooch around for a couple of hours, grab a spot of lunch and admire the wonderful view.

Good luck with your writing & I agree, you appear to have lots of inspiration around you – are those photos really where you are now? Jealous!
I was bought the “Artist’s Way” but while I started it, I lost steam too quickly! It’s a commitment isn’t it & I hope it works for you – even if it’s an initial unblocker!

I’m hoping the book will help but I was also very inspired by the scruffy badger website – not only to get going with the blog but also to smarten up my look!
