More road musings


One writer said, "Travel is mostly about dreams—dreaming of landscapes or cities, imagining yourself in them, murmuring the bewitching place names, and then finding a way to make the dream come true. The dream can also be one that involves hardship, slogging through a forest, paddling down a river, confronting suspicious people, living in a hostile place, testing your adaptability, hoping for some sort of revelation."

In this post, apply the quote to your "road" book. Is the author/protagonist hoping for some sort of revelation? Being tested? If your book is more of a psychic quest than a physical journey, you still should be able to find a connection.

Your post should be lengthy and meaty. It also should be well-written and edited for such things as punctuation and spelling.

I'm looking forward to reading these Monday. Don't forget that your book should be read by Tuesday.
