if you feel like you never belong, then think of a time when you know you were most relaxed.
  Whether it was a place or if it was a room in a house you once lived int.
   I know that i might sound really stupid, but trust me; you will find a place you will feel most at home.
   I have that feeling right now.
   When you write you can produce the best ideas when you are calm and comfortable.
   I have found that being in the fiends of the countryside about forty five minutes away from me is the best.
    I know this because i have spent days that add up to week that add up to months there. When i feel the light breeze on my skin as i walk through the fiend. Or the heat on my skin in the early morning. Even when i feel the drench of the rain wash away the discomfort of 'writers block' as i walk the dog. I feel at home there. I feel like i know my place there. When I'm not there i feel a certain emptiness in my heart, i never knew what it was, but now i know and i cant help but bask in its emptiness and feel lost.

What I'm saying is that if you go somewhere where you feel relaxed and calm and ready for you mind to drift amongst the strangest of ideas and wackiest twists of your characters life.
   I might be speaking complete and utter rubbish but i know that my place is out there and i know where it is and that i would kill to be there and live there for the rest of my life if i could.
   Ask yourself one question: Where did you feel most relaxed?
   If it is as home in your bed room, then great that is perfect, but for other it might be harder. But i know that you will fit in somewhere at some point.

It doesn't have to be a million miles away, like Japan or America, you can find somewhere closer than that. Whether it is the woods down the road. Your back garden or a room in your house. No one is going to judge you because of where you feel more relaxed. if anything you should be proud of it.Being sat in the same room is not the best for some people, it will work for others, but for the people who cant just sit in one room, on one chair looking at the same walls, them please get out there, grab yourself a pen and a pad and get yourself out of the house to find your place. Your heart will lead your feet.
   I know my place. Do you know yours?
Thank you,
J.A.M
