So You Want To Be A Travel Writer . . .

I was sitting in my typical bedroom at my laptop or computer in my quaint, charming, rustic hometown of Brooklyn, New York, with my puppy, Wilson, at my feet when I came across David Farley’s post on how to stay clear of creating lousy travel articles.

Some of his a lot more beneficial ideas include things like not promptly interjecting you and your companion (like your puppy) into your opening, keeping away from clichés to describe a locale, and drifting all around with no coming up with some kind of angle to anchor your story.

And like any superior author is aware of, immerse yourself in the performs of talented authors and beneficial “how-to books” for travel writing David recommends Don George’s, for standard travel creating, I’d suggest Rolf Potts, Anthony Bourdain, and David Foster Wallace.

As soon as I finished reading through his piece, I couldn’t support but imagine to myself how a lot I looked forward to returning and reading through it after once more.
