The Beginning

While studying at university I liked the idea of becoming a travel writer and gave it a go while traveling in Australia.  Initially I wrote for a local newspaper and had several articles published during a year out when I travelled round the world, visiting Bankok, Australia, Fiji & Vancouver.  After several years away from writing I am hoping to return and build on what I have already done.  I have decided to try again through writing some blogs to try and help me be more creative and get back into the world of writing. Although travel writing is not as glamorous as many would think it is still a route I'd like to explore. As well as travel writing I would like to keep my options open and maybe look into fiction writing and see if I have a book in me.  I have previously written poems and short storied but not had any published so this route will hopefully let me explore all routes and see where I end up.  I am not ready to give up!! Please feel free to add comments and helpful advice to help me along my way.  I have many ideas and hopefully blogging will help me expand some of these thoughts and ideas and make something of them.
