Hubby and I are heading to a small cottage on Dartmoor for a few days next week. Not sure how much internet connection there will be there so I will visit blogs when I can. It is a beautiful place. I love the wild ruggedness and the feeling of space. It is so atmospheric and you really feel as if you are getting away from things even though you are only a few miles from civilisation! I am hoping to do some walking and some writing whilst there. Following feedback on my ms I am doing some editing at the moment and one of the main suggestions was that a fight scene should be 'darkened.' I am hoping this will be the place to provide some inspiration to help me with this.

Happy weekend everyone

ReplyDeleteDarker. I have trouble with darker...
Suggest trip to the moors, Alex!
DeleteHave fun on your little working vacation, Suzanne, and with your daughters. I'm sure it will be delightful to catch up with them. Wishing you a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne, enjoy the much needed rest and relaxation in a pretty cottage. I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteA wee cottage sounds delightful. I hope you have a great time away.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great time away and get some much needed time to relax
ReplyDeleteDartmoor, I love the name. It just sounds like a place where all kinds of gothic novel plots could go down. =) Enjoy your time there!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break and catching up with your daughters. Sounds wonderful. :)
ReplyDeleteYour week ahead sounds lovely! I hope you have a really good break and get plenty of writing done. Dark writing is the best writing, of course. I'm always in trouble for making mine too dark - if not downright disturbing! Have a great weekend with the family xx
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely time at Dartmoor - I think it would be a perfect place to write darker! x
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of Dartmoor Suzanne, My late husband and I had out last holiday together there just before he passed away,
ReplyDeleteEnjoy yourselves and have fun whatever the weather,
Yay for catching up with the kids and a cozy country vacation! Have a wonderful time! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous view! I want to come with you. Can I? I totally need a writing retreat. Enjoy your time away!

There's nothing better than a good weekend with family. And that picture is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great time! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone, thanks so much for stopping by. I have patchy internet access at the moment so may not do a lot of visiting till I return home. Having a great break, with several walks done so far. Settling down to a few hours writing this afternoon. All the best.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne
hope you are enjoying your time away - beautiful country!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne,
ReplyDeleteThis really is happening. I have actually got here to live a comment.
I do so hope that your time away was one of much treasured moments. Always good to see other family members.
I love Dartmoor.
Gary :)
Have fun at Dartmoor and with your daughter. Let the darkening begin!
