I’ve been meaning to attach a blog to my website for years and I’m finally doing it!  My stumbling block has always been this: as a traveler and a travel writer, there are so many things to write about that I’m always overwhelmed with the possibilities. Should I write about the trips themselves? The writing about those trips?  Should I write about getting those stories published? My ideas for new books? Should I give tips on travel writing and pursuing travel writing as a career?  Should I discuss solo travel, backpacking, and my latest adventures with press trips?  And what about discussing what makes a good travel story? That’s my specialty. AHHHH!

OK, too much to write about. Forget the whole thing.

Just kidding! I will write about all those things.  And I will post stories from other travel writers, along with full versions of lots of stories I’ve written, and lots of advice. Basically, I’ll blog about…… the travel writing life.
My first post, below, is on mannequins of the world.
Thanks for reading!
