hellooo there,
i haven't blogged in a long time as i have been busy with assignments and such, but i am back now with something to actually blog about.
i was watching tim bailey's weather programme about half and hour or so ago, and it was the segment in which people sent in weather photographs and won a camera for the best one. aside from how awful his hair looks, it got me thinking about what i wanted to do when i grew up. i love travelling (or, i would love to travel, since i haven't actually done any yet), and i love writing and i love taking photos, BUT, travel writing seems so difficult to get into, with all the degrees and stuff you have to earn first to get anywhere. then i thought how much i wanted to get a book published, and how i am so bad at keeping focus on such a big task as a whole novel. then it hit me. it seemed like the best idea in the world to me, but hey, i'm still looking for a second opinion.
i'm going to backpack across australia, taking photos as i go, then put them all into a book. of course i will be including some writing about the places i have visited as well, but i am hoping that the photos will look good enough to be the main focus of the book.
it probably won't generate an awful lot of money, but i know i will have a lot of fun! and after i have saved up enough money, i will go to other countries, particulary europe and asia.
haha, i am already excited! i better start saving up some money, this isn't gonna be cheap, i can tell you that ...
well, any feedback or advice will be greatly appreciated! until next time ...
jessss. (:

That sounds like a fun idea. If I may make a suggestion, keep a journal of your travels, then when you're done you'll have a whole book full of anecdotes and comments to include with your pictures.
Yeah, I agree with C. This is a good idea.
There is actually a genre of books that are travelogues and I know someone who is about to have one published, about hiking to Buddhist temples in Japan.
haha, awesome. i wasn't too sure if there were actually books like that.
thanks guys!
