Travelling is difficult, and writers tend to want to stay at home and do their work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Travel definitely affects me as a writer.
You have to first be a writer and somebody who loves to write. If I couldn't travel, I would still write.
Being a writer usually entails a fairly quiet life. However much travel one might do, however many tours and appearances, the job entails solitude: long hours in libraries, long hours at a desk.
If your work requires you to travel, you will understand that there's no vacation destination like home.
The one thing that's terrible about traveling for fun is writing about it.
I wouldn't say that I'm a travel novelist, but rather a novelist who travels - and who uses travel as a background for finding stories of places.
I just don't see myself as a travel writer. I can't. I don't.
I love travelling, and most scripts have been written while I have been travelling.
I like to take writing retreats within a day's drive of home. Less travel time means more time for writing, which is the name of the game here.
In a certain sense, a writer is an exile, an outsider, always reporting on things, and it is part of his life to keep on the move. Travel is natural.
