I'll have to dig around a bit, and I don't really know the quality...maybe other's here do, but...
let me see what I can find. Give me some time.... I'm NOT a travel writer, nor do I play one on the interwebz... Last edited by kennyc; 01-02-2013 at 02:06 PM. |

Let's see, I just found these things quickly:
www.freelancetravelwriter.com Wiki: (not much there): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travel_writing This looks useful (but article oriented): http://www.guardian.co.uk/travel/201...-expert-advice More ??: http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-...-travel-memoir http://b2b.meetplango.com/2011/04/so...travel-memoir/ http://www.namw.org/2011/06/writing-...om-the-get-go/ http://www.journeywoman.com/traveltales/topten.html http://www.transitionsabroad.com/lis...l_writer.shtml This looks like it has some good examples: http://www.besttravelwriting.com/btw...tories/memoir/ Last edited by kennyc; 01-02-2013 at 02:08 PM. |

Here are my goals:
One full length novel in my 'Blemished' series (written, edited and published). A novella in the 'Blemished' series (written, edited and published). Edit and query my Nanowrimo from 2012. And if that isn't enough, maybe write another Nano for 2013 to edit in 2014. In between all that - market and promote my work! Something tells me it's going to be a busy year! |

Ratatouille is one of my favorite movies. I sometimes adapt the refrain in the movie to 'anyone can write'. I believe we all have a story to tell. Good luck. |

You're not the only one and I didn't even think to include NaNo 2013 in my resolutions. Still I made some progress on part of one of my ideas last night and wrote nearly 500 words of a scene for it. I don't know exactly where in the book it will fit as yet but I made some progress. Although I haven't defined them yet I also created two minor characters for one of my majors to interact with. Her kids. I'm using the BIAM (Book In A Month) template for Scrivener that I found at the BIAM yahoo group to build the book. It will probably involve a lot of hard work to meet my goals, but I have a feeling there will be a lot of fun involved as well.

This is why we call them goals.
I did what I hope is a final revision on a memoir yesterday and wrote about 500 words each on two separate topics... I'm kinda thinking production-wise if I can produce 1000 words/day along with the other associated writing business (editing, marketing, planning, etc.) I can meet my goals.

Oh I didn't mean it in a 'Touche' way, just a comment.
Some people get all black and white about Resolutions, Goals, Tasks, etc. I sort of gave up the resolution thing long ago and goals I think of as "what I might reasonably" accomplish, something to shoot for, not the stars, but maybe the ceiling. |

Ah ok. I do take your point though. In order to reach the destination one must first define what/where that is. Hence setting a goal. I've not had a good track record of keeping up with resolutions either, but I figure if I can keep focused on small steps and use my new copy of Scrivener to best advantage I have a shot at reaching at least some of them if not all.

I've tried to use Scrivener in the past but I don't take to it. I'm more of a pantser when it comes to writing. Yesterday I edited 9 chapters of my novel. Today I've done none! I guess taking the rough with the smooth is part of being a writer. |

My goal is fairly conservative (I think). I just want to write about 150,000 new words this year, which breaks down to 3,000 words a week (with 2 weeks of vacation/margin thrown in just in case).
