Here is what happens on a normal day in the Miami life of vogue: first I went to South Beach because I wanted to get some nice pictures of Espanola Way, a historic Spanish village off Lincoln's road, which nowadays is of course a tourist attraction and features plenty of restaurants and shops but,...

I knew why I choose to live in Miami. What a blissful sunday. My inner clock is still a bit out of kilter, which means I woke up at 3 am and couldn't go back to sleep. So, I did what needed doing, I cleaned my apartment and by the time the sun came up and I was ready for my morning swim, the place... Sign in to see full entry.

Hard to believe, but I have eventually made it back! It feels as if I have traveled around the world instead of going in a relatively straight line from east to west for a few thousand miles. But the experience, especially the over nighter in Heathrow"s terminal 5 is worth having. For one it has... Sign in to see full entry.

First, because so many of you kindly revealed what their favorite writing clothes are. That was great fun and fun is definitely needed today. For some inexplicable reason a big dark cloud was hanging over my mood all day long. Thoughts like: I'm old, I'm fat, I'm ugly, nobody loves me, I'm a... Sign in to see full entry.

Nautikos' comment on my previous post has triggered this one. What a poetic description of a writer's den and surroundings to be creative. Wearing a caftan, what an image. Now, I wonder, is there a particular outfit you like to wear when writing? Something that helps the mind along? Do you write... Sign in to see full entry.
