How do you do it? You know, come down off that cloud of contented holiday bliss and fall back into real life. I'm calling this state of mind the
Post Travelling Pinks as I'm actually feeling happy, just...well distracted. After almost a month away it's a little hard getting back to reality.
What do you mean no more afternoon naps? No more frivolous spa appointments, spicy satays, creamy doughnuts and absolutely no more martinis'.
Time to unpack the steamer trunk dear lady.
I am in the throes of finishing the final chapters of my main WIP and its been interesting. Whilst on holiday my routine was pretty much writing early morning or in the evening...now that I'm back in London the distractions have multiplied three-fold. Maybe subconsciously it's the fact that final chapters mean the end of a story? I know I'll get it finished soon though but for now I just want to savour the fresh memories of my trip. The best part of travelling are all the experiences, smells, sights and people you encounter - more plotlines, more characters for your stories right?
Absolutely.
What's that? A final travel montage? Of course dear Ladies and Gents. Here it is - enjoy!

I absolutely love the pictures!
Marina Bay Sands looks very interesting. must be a beautiful view from the top.
Marina Bay Sands is the latest big hotel-casino-shopping destination in Singapore. Everyone is raving about it; I'd definitely recommend a visit to the country if anyone is interested in architecture - its teaming with great buildings. We stayed across the bay from it, ran out of time to actually get to the top ( next time right?; ).
And yest I agree - another week to unpack,even its it mentally downloaded and adjusting. hehe.
I'm adjusting from a trip too. When I'm away, it's hard to write. But when I'm home, there always seems to be so much to DO.
You're near the end of your WIP - so exciting!
I know what you mean, I had to juggle a few times esp with family gatherings and daytrips - I tried to catchup the following evening.
Am excited to be on the last leg ( fingers crossed) of the first draft! ;))
Have a lovely week!
It takes me a week for every two weeks of vacation to get back in the groove. The post- vacation-daze-syndrome:)
It's always hard when travelling comes to an end - I hear you. Especially with all the craptastic weather in London these days. Where has summer gone?
But don't ever give up the Martinis. Martinis are for life, not just vacations.
The chilli crab was oh so hot!
We need a longer summer don't we? I hear you on the martinis - they are definitely for life, I've got them next to champagne on my list. ;))
