This is the view I've always pictured when I think of the English countryside. So beautiful. Enjoy every minute.

Thanks HSL, Leigh, Flaco, Orangetoes, Lucielle, Beanie and Skint

Thankfully the new charging cable arrived first thing after I'd got up and dressed.

I went to see a pretty waterfall today and ate out at a pub and had a coffee out too. Will try and post a piccie tomorrow.

Yesterday I bought a fold up table and folding chair as there's only a breakfast bar here and a stool that I didn't feel balanced on at all. It kind of just spun round when I tried to sit on it and I couldn't work out how to stop it. Used new table with my laptop today and when eating. After my walk, I came back and got the computer to read my book 2 so far to me. It worked at getting me in the zone and let me spot minor errors and fix them. I then deleted some words in the next section and wrote another 2,677 words. Really happy. I've set a target to write at least 10,000 words this week and feel on track now. I seem to have got past the point where I was stuck and have more direction and inspiration again. Hopefully I can just carry on now. I feel that because I edit as I go - and understand more after book 1 what the final version needs to sound like - that my writing is a much better quality earlier. I think this book has more of 'me' in it which is amusing given it's a YA Fantasy. My target is around 70,000 words and I'm at 47,000 so feel I'm getting much closer to finishing.

Have a wonderful break, sounds like you're really in the zone with book 2 now - how exciting!

Thanks for sharing your artistic approach on here @savingholmes - I find it really interesting! Both how to fit creative time into a busy life and the practical tips like the computer reading it back to you. I hope you have a restorative time away and soak up those lovely views!

Very inspirational views and adventures. 
Good luck with the planned words, but don't forget to relax and enjoy being away.

Well done on the writing SH. It was something I loved doing when I was younger so I'm always envious of people who managed to keep it up over time.
