I have spent a lot of time thinking about this and now have finally come to the conclusion that it’s all about your frame of mind when it comes to writing.
When I am off the ship my days are so full on and packed full of tasks and errands as well as being surrounded by friends every day that I just don’t get the time to sit down and write. Therefore my time to myself on the ship is a perfect time for me to sit back and put pen to paper. On the ship I have the freedom to express myself and my opinions freely. It’s such a nice feeling, and this is when my true self is expressed.
