Free travel journaling class in Edmonds Thursday
If you’ve ever tried to keep a travel diary and felt that your writing didn’t fully capture the spirit of your journey, or if you’ve given up on writing because there was just so much else to do during your vacation, award-winning travel humorist Dave Fox offers help in a free class in Edmonds this Thursday, Oct. 29.
Fox will cover the following:
- How to splash lots of detail into your travel journals in a short amount of time.
- How to weave together your “inner journey” with your “outer journey” to capture the emotional part of your travels.
- How to spot the most relevant details to write about.
- Tips on creative journaling techniques that go beyond bland, step-by-step accounts of your days.
