Alghero’s sunset and how it helped my writing
Posted on 18. Feb, 2008 by Joanna in Sardinia
I’m back in England but still dreaming about Alghero.
As I’ve blogged about before, the coastal city has had a special place in my heart ever since my first visit back in December 2002.
But this time around, it was a truly cathartic experience.
I’ve been struggling with my writing for a while. Not my everyday writing but the book I have to get out if I’m ever going to meet my deadline. But, however much I wrote my diary on the beach and sat in front of my computer, it just wasn’t happening.
That all changed, though, with my trip to Alghero. Whether it was finally getting to catch up with my friend, Sally, in the sushi bar near her house, or seeing the sun set over the sea at Capo Caccia, something powerful shifted inside of me.
So much so that this morning, I woke up hours before my alarm clock, switched on my computer and let the words flow. All I had to do was type as fast as the words were coming. And that’s a wonderful feeling.
