Only I won’t be.
Here.
Because writing demands isolation. Solitude. Aloneness. To hear the voices.
For the next week, I will be immersed. On Edisto. Comparing earth to water to sky. Walking. But not responding to comments. Or reading blogs.
I don’t know how to elaborate. Because anything I type comes off as bitchy. And I am not a bitch.
Really.
So.
I won’t be here for the next week.
Perhaps I will check in with an otherworldly view.
Of Edisto.
The Atlantic.
Sand and sea and sky.
We shall see.

If you need to be somewhere that is quiet and peaceful, Edisto is as nice a place as any. I hope it is qiet enough to hear the voices.
best of luck on your mission. see you when you get back –
I envy the location of your solitude. Go forth and write.
Enjoy.
Enjoy your peace and solitude, Andra.
Great BBQ out there…
You lucky dog.
At the risk of looking self-serving, here’s a post about old Edisto: http://ruthrawls.wordpress.com/2014/11/01/the-gold-mine-in-the-closet/.
Best wishes as you write. Back here we’ll be arranging some electrons on your behalf.
I envy the solitude – I hope it speaks to you
Enjoy your isolation!
Is it wrong that I’m excited that, due to your absence, this is one less blog I’ll be behind in reading by the time the weekend rolls around (and I’m able to catch up).
Enjoy!
Soak up all the peace and quiet and stay focused on your writing!
Wish I were going to be on Edisto for a week…. 🙂 Hope the sand, sea and solitude will loosen the tongues of those characters in your head. We’ll be here when you get back.
Best to you, Andra, in your week-a-battical (as opposed to a sabbatical) . I’ll be reading a certain book I’m privy to. 🙂
Best of wishes. 🙂
Ah, the voices. May they entertain and inform.
Go. Write. You are not bitchy. You are a writer.
Go for it! I need to do the same thing!
Enjoy the voices!
best wishes.
I’ll be here waiting for you. 😀 Enjoy the quiet and solitude.
Edisto is beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful time!
I envy you that you can find isolation to write. Somehow I can only manage a few hours a night, between housework and office work. I hope you enjoy your escape. Write away!
jealous
Enjoy the time away!
Wishing you the best on your writing journey!
Hope you’re having a successful week! 🙂
