I got an email a few days ago from Travellers´Tales, with an invitation to attend a workshop in London:
JOIN THE FAST TRACK TO TRAVEL JOURNALISM
Learn how to create professional travel articles and get them
published, at our weekend masterclass with travel editors from The
Guardian, Sunday Times Travel and Traveller magazine.
Plus – our 10% early booking discount is available until Monday!
Key topics include pitching to editors, structuring articles,
describing places and people, creating strong openings and endings,
researching the market.
These are invaluable insights for success in the marketplace, and
rarely available from such top professionals.
My heart started to beat fast and I could hardly sit still. Oh, how I would love, love, love to go!
It is not an option though. Of course it is not an option. I had to tell myself this over and over again. It is not an option.
After saying this too many times, I had to tell myself to stop. To stop this negative thinking. To turn around, to see with my eyes that there is always a fork in the road, and it is up to me to make my decisions.
I am not going to London (though I still would love, love, love to go), but I will make my own workshop. Gather a pile of books, pick out some photos, write a tale, and then another, and yet another. I will be my own teacher, I will give myself homework, and I will ask you to be my audience, to give me feedback, to cheer for me.
The photos in this post are from the old postoffice in Sabaudia, a small town in Italy. My first study will be to learn more about this town and my first homework will be to write a travel tale from there.
The travel blog, Caffe Avec, will be where I will post my travel tales.
The pile of books I have so far consists of:
