I've been reminded several times this week of the various journeys we undertake. Whether to physically move from one point on the compass to another, or transverse a significant event or life situation we're faced with or maybe ones we seek out.
Every journey has within it the seed of a story. Maybe one that created the need to move, or maybe the one that tells the tale of what transpired throughout the journey.
Even sharing the journey and the story of it is a journey in itself. How you start to unpack it, the parts you will share, the ones you wont, the lessons learned, and the mistakes made... all of these create the genesis of the book that others want to read. If you don't do that planning at the start then metaphorically the need to dig deep into the bottom of the rucksack to finally locate the bug spray which turns out to be wrapped inside a sock under the sleeping bag can be frustrating as hell... for the reader. So careful planning and preparation can really make all the difference.... regardless of the journey type.
If you want to undertake a journey writing about other journeys, then come along to our FREE Authority Masterclass sessions (Third Thursday of each month) and start your packing and unpacking process and discovery of what, how, where...
