While I walk, I'll be inspired by the country that produced William Shakespeare, Roald Dahl, E. Nesbit, Lewis Carroll, Philip Pullman, Charles Dickens, J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, and so many more writers.
Of course, I'll keep my notebook tucked inside my backpack. Each day, I plan to write down and describe one unusual thing I see, hear, taste, touch, or smell. From stone fences and bleating sheep, to Treacle Tart and Bubble 'n Squeak, England will be a blast to my senses!
At the end of my walk, I'll have 15 descriptions. I plan to match each description with a photo for my own personal writer's journal of my journey.
Even if you're not traveling, try describing one unusual thing each day for the next two weeks. Can you discover things close to home that open your senses to new experiences? That's what travel does--and sometimes you don't even have to leave home.
Yellow Pencils returns October 2nd. Cheerio!
