  • I thought the same about the restorative value of sightseeing walks during my one residency–and, bonus, they showed up in a lot of poems and essays later. One discovery on a recent trip was a white noise app for my phone. Lifesaver.

    Thank you for this. You have created a very smart list that I intend to hang on to, just in case I have the opportunity! Especially #4—you don’t want to spend a lot of your time socializing, but a few minutes here and there, an hour in the evening discussing writing—these are treasured opportunities to connect with creative peers!

    Dear Lesley, Yes, that’s what I ended up doing too – ocean sound app on the cell phone! 🙂

    Jan, yes, I just wish I’d been a little healthier – as it was it was only five minute talks here and there. I can see how it could be tempting to sit and talk when you can’t write – a little solitude is definitely necessary for the process!
