This week the prompt is: What is the most inspiring setting you've ever visited in real life? My answer is fairly predictable and boring for an Irish writer, it's the west of Ireland. The landscape is so beautiful in a harsh and rugged way, and the wide open spaces give your mind room to think properly, away from the constraints of concrete buildings, neon lights and worries about bills, the day job and city life. I'm definitely a Dublin girl at heart, but I love the west. I dream about going on a writers retreat there one day.
What about you? Any inspirational places?
I'd love to see Ireland :) How could you have time for anything else but writing???

ohmygosh - that is GORGEOUS!!! Can I go with you?
ReplyDeleteIreland is so beautiful, I would love to see it someday! I visited the house my great, great, grandpa built when he first came to America from Czechoslovakia in the 1880s. It was just this little brick thing in the middle of a Nebraska pasture, but it was the most inspiring thing I'd ever seen. To pick up your life and move across the ocean to a completely foreign land--now that leaves me in awe.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see Ireland some day. I have friends who are there right now! They are loving it! I would say the UP and the upper part of the lower peninsula of Michigan are simply beautiful. The mountains outside of Seattle are gorgeous too!

I would love to see Ireland. I have a friend that's heading over there to study abroad and I am incredibly jealous. Major continent envy. :D
ReplyDeleteOooo. Beautiful pic. A perfect place for a writer's retreat.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds very inspiring and just how I'd picture Ireland. I think I need to add Ireland to my list of places to visit now that my passport is up to date again.
ReplyDeleteIreland is SO beautiful. I love Ireland and Oxford. Something about well preserved places makes me want to create something. Lovely post!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo! You're so lucky to live in such a beautiful setting. My husband and I plan to make the trek to Ireland one of these days, along with lots of other places. :)
ReplyDeleteIreland may seem predictable to you, but I've never been and would love to read a great story set there.
ReplyDeleteThat is not boring in the least - Ireland is amaaaazing! And so inspiring for all artists.
ReplyDeleteOne of Hubby's friends just relocated to Ireland for school. I say this gives me an excellent reason to go and experience your inspiring place first hand. Yes??
ReplyDeleteThat may be boring for an Irish writer, but for an American writer it makes me dream and envy! There's a reason there are so many Irish poets, amiright?
ReplyDeleteNot boring for me! I would love to visit Ireland. It's a great picture.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture with this post. I have been reading your blog and getting a lot of inspriation from your posts. I love the west of Ireland. There are so many beautifl places throughout Ireland, it would be hard not to find a place to write there. Dublin is still my favorite.
