Looking for a share in Bali or Ireland on the Aran Islands to write

As you surely must already know, Bali has been the place where many writers in the past have come to find the perfect setting and inspiration to write their books.  As a former New Yorker myself, you just might find Bali to be perfect for you.

You might have a look at the central mountains area of Bali, in and around Bedugul, Batur, Munduk, etc.  And, you might also consider a home stay with a Balinese family which in itself will provide a great foundation, peace, tranquility and endless stimulus to get those creative juices flowing.

While you can do a good amount of research in advance of coming over to Bali, you really need to be here to see for yourself and look around for that perfect combination that you'll immediately recognize once confronted with it. 

Good luck, and good writing!

And the weather is far better than on an island at the mercy of Atlantic storms.
You won't need to pack a stormproof coat if you chose Bali, but a brolly is a good idea.

Go to the Aran Islands, it will be so cold and wet during the winter that you will be forced to stay inside and write..... Bali is too beautiful and too distracting

Hi Maggy,
I coincidentally read your posting on Expat.com.  I live in Jimbaran area,  Southern Bali.  You choose the right world if you want to write a book and practice  yoga meditation in Bali.  My daughters live in a housing for rent in Kerobokan, Kuta, near their office, for only  approx. usd 150 per month (a large room with A/C, kitchenette, very clean shower room and a double bed).  It's a quite place to stay. 

Please write me if you need more info about Bali.

I most strongly urge lady forum members not to share contact details with people they don't know well, or long term forum members can't vouch for.

You just don't know who you'll meet - it could be a nice chap in the hotel industry, or a wannabe agent trying to sell anything to anyone he can inflate the price to. Next thing you know, you could be buying scrap ships or three coal mines, or at least listening to some dude trying a sales pitch.

Safety first.
