Winter Writing Vacation
After this past February passed, I realized that February is a month without pity. Although it is the shortest month, it feels like the longest month. I don’t know about where you are from, but here in Toronto, its an ugly month, with grey skies and dirty, slushy snow.
I often feel like I should be writing, but that I just can’t manage to do it. That’s how I felt this past February. I wanted to write, but I just couldn’t manage to get anything out. So, I said to myself then, that I should take a trip in February in order to focus on writing, the idea being that perhaps if I changed location for a while, I would be better able to write, especially in that bleak month.
I’ve had a few thoughts about where to go. I’ve considered Victoria, BC. Or Halifax, NS. Or Edmonton, AB.
I’ve also recently considered New York City. Partially because I’ve never been, and also because…well, it seems like the kind of place to get some writing done. One thing that’s always held me back is the fact that all the hotels seem really expensive. The Pod Hotel looks pretty reasonable though (comparatively speaking). Of course, I’ve never been to New York, so I have no idea about how I would do things like get from the airport to the hotel or how I’d get around. I’m certain I’d manage.
But I suppose I’ll have to make some decisions about where to go soon…February will be here before I know it if I’m not careful.
