What better place for a writer to disappear to than lovely Bunbury, Western Australia. My motel is quiet and able to concentrate on nothing else, but the words coming out of my head and onto the pages before me. And yes I do like to constantly stare out the window to the left of me, well wouldn’t you with the sea only moments from your room ? I have a desk , a place to spread myself out, as I often seem to do. But what a place to write away the hours, the inspiration from the sea and countryside all around me, ready to be soaked up and written in my unique style.

I must admit the queen sized bed is a cozy place to journal and write upon. I feel that this winter escape has been a very good thing for me to have done. To getaway from the city and everything else, to just be a tourist in a small town. To be able to not get involved in any politics or drama, to simply reset as a person, as well as a writer who has felt so lost these last couple of months. To not be able to write, or even enjoy the process anymore was often hard for me to take, along with the grief of my Dad passing.

Now here I am writing in a travel journal, as well as writing in my blog, all of my current experiences and adventures. It feels very liberating and also feels like I am anew again after a long time. I have rediscovered my unique voice and style, that seems very much muted since losing my Dad last year. But now I am starting to live a more Technicolor world, not to say that I do not miss my Dad every hour of everyday, but trying to recapture my writing self, for which my Dad was very proud of me doing. He even read my Blog, which made me feel so happy.

I love to share my own love for the written word with everyone else, that is why I still write blog posts and journal about just about everything, because you just do not know what is around the corner. These words could bring comfort to your family and close friends one day, they may smile or laugh through their tears when they read these words. I also love stories and to tell them, hence the travel journal, because stories help heal our world and bring us all together as human beings.

Being by the sea really offers me great inspiration and helps me write about anything and tell whatever story I could possibly come up with. I used to stop myself short before I would call myself a writer or an artist, but now I feel empowered to do so and do not feel weird in anyway. The Southwest area of Western Australia is rich in history and in also natural beauty, and that helps make a writer’s life that much easier indeed.

I am going to miss my little haven here in Bunbury, in this motel room with a great view, but hey I can always come back again. My very own writer’s world far from prying eyes and where I can just be. You couldn’t ask for more than that at all.

Adieu for now Kitty-Kat xox And hope you have a great day xox
