Writing a Book in the Mountains of Italy
instagram: clairemcgory_
Last July. Collemachia, Italy with a permanent population of 39, the breading grounds of a novel that remains undone and a month at my first creative residency. I talk a bit about my process and how I began; I wrote and by writing became a writer. I hope you enjoy.

I had the most special time just being a part of life here as a stranger in passing and am feeling ...

We spent our days wandering around & going to museums (Picasso, D'orsay, Louvre, et all), admiring beautiful art in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Paris in May was surreal; the city came alive in gardens, cafes, & conversations with friends in the sun. Also tucked ...

I spent this month playing a lot of guitar, going for swims in the North Sea, at fashion shows, student art showcases that double as garden parties, and enjoying the beginnings of spring in this lovely costal town.

    I have fallen in love with all of your videos after stumbling upon this one. I don’t think I’ve ever commented on a RUclips video, but I just had to say from one writer (songwriter) to another, you seem to have words and stories bursting out of you in every glance, word, and movement! A truly natural born storyteller, which is so fun to witness. You are definitely made to create and I cannot wait to hopefully follow along for more. Wishing you the best of luck ❤

    Nice video and content! I would like to quote you Jack Kerouac, great writer, who in his book "The Dharma Burms" wrote a sentence that struck me so much - "One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple" P.S. Did you know that you resemble actress and singer Maya Hawke? Like Maya you are very talented and appear confident 🔝

    "In all the world's stories, this was mine". I've written something like that at the end of my 2nd book. I started writing this year after years and years of imagining words instead of putting them where they belong and I can say it was really challenging, but amazingly satisfying. You'll face difficulties in your creative process, that's for sure, but you'll be rewarded with something unattainable by any other thing, which is a deep understanding of your emotions. To quote from a book I really love (precisely the book thief, a pretty famous one, I guess):"You'll hate the words and you'll love them...and I hope you'll make them right".

    As both a screenwriter, in a professional capacity, and a novelist, as a pastime, I've learned that progress is made by consistently sitting down with a yellow pad or at the laptop daily. Accomplishments are built one word, one sentence, one paragraph, and one page at a time. Commit to writing daily, even if for only 15 minutes, and focus on capturing the words. Don't stress over perfection - just write. You can always revise and improve your work in later drafts. Sure, it can be intimidating, but bit by bit, it all comes together. Remember to enjoy the journey - that's a big part of the fun!

I'm also writing a book. It's an incredible journey, just like you said in your last video, art and creation it's a way of being. I hope you keep having fun in your journey of self discovery. See you in your next video!

    Hey Claire! Wanted to say that your videos are so gentle and kind. I only discovered you yesterday, but already have fallen in love with your channel. I feel this video to be very encouraging to do the same solo trip this summer (fingers crossed), maybe in the similar area. Thanks a lot, keep on creating! The art always speaks for itself. Ps. Did you take public bus from Katania to Taormina/ Castemola?

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us ❤ I stumbled upon your video in a moment where I was feeling really down about my own project. I'm currently writing my novel, and I feel like I'm going nowhere but your video has reminded me why I'm doing it in the first place. It feels right, I love to create, and I really want to experience this journey. I'm definitely living under different circumstances, but I want to write, and I'll find myself the time to do it. Thank you again.

      Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for such a heartfelt comment. It’s really quite an honor to connect over this, to share in that feeling which unites. It’s so very meaningful to me that this resonates. I wish you so much luck, keep writing and remembering why you love it, however you feel it, in whatever way you do; in doing so you can only succeed. Sending you much love and grace
