What Do You Write When Away?

It seems as if getting away is just something we as writers end up doing at times. We write about places that maybe we have been, or perhaps have only read about. We may write travel pieces about some spot we have come across by luck or by plan.

But what other things do you write about when you are away from your normal life? If it's a vacation, do you really stop writing during it if you are a writer? What if you are just out at the park, a ball game, riding a horse (makes it tough to write while galloping), or at the amusement park.

This week, get out from your desk or your normal place where you are writing and go somewhere.

Try not to write, see how easy or difficult it is. And be careful out there.
