One Writer’s Vacation Diary
Out Of My Comfort Zone
Hopped a plane to Africa this last trip
The time before that was New York
A first visit
It was madness really
Yet brilliant in hindsight
The cure for writers block
“Saw it in a magazine” my friend shared,
“How brave are you?” He challenged
He went with me
He was always one who backed up his words with actions
This time with money too
He paid for the whole thing
Didn’t sleep the first two nights
Too worried about lions
They said there weren’t any nearby
But I’ve seen too many movies
Our days, nights were free
Just show some work every day
Meet up at eight for breakfast, share your work
Writing a paragraph at least
The rest of the day is yours
Walked around checking my surroundings constantly
staying close to groups of people
I wrote mostly about how I was apprehensive
