How to write your travel notes?

travel notes
Summer - vacation time. No, not so. Summer - time travel. Now you can finally see what is there beyond the horizon. Minimum of clothing, a maximum impressions. I so want that is not ended.

End summer. Will remain memories that will warm long winter nights, will give a topic for conversation with friends. And that's what I thought. Photos consider - is one thing. Human memory is not perfect. Very quickly forgotten the mood, the people, good and bad, which was met on the road. Looking for something to do with it. Do not spill the memories of a unique summer, keep it for yourself, for children and families. The only way - write your travel notes.

How? One thing to say «write». Another thing to make myself sit down and write. When going to write, so many thoughts. Sit down - the universal emptiness envelops the mind, the subconscious, and other parts of the brain. We will act on the plan.

The first plan: the technical side.
1. Every day write down everything that happened at the same time. For example, in 21.00. Failed, then in the morning at 9.00. It becomes a habit and it will be easier to seat themselves at the table.
2. Prepare supplies and workplace, to find all of this did not interrupt the creative process.
3. Well, when you have a laptop. If you do not need a notebook. Yes thicker. Place where to write, too, should be organized. You can make points of the plan.
4. Do not forget your camera!

Second plan: direct management of travel writing. Here we act on that plan. We start with notation of date, time, place. Then proceed to the description of the place in which are, hitchhiking, and events.

Describe the place, probably the easiest. What I see, then writing. Do not forget at the same time the most important thing: to assess what we see, to describe their mood at the time admiring the surrounding countryside and statements, if any.

With people more difficult. In humans, because there are not only external but also internal. From the outside everything is clear: the name, indicative of the eye, age, marital status (if possible), doing what, appearance, demeanor, gestures, smile, especially. Interior can express your conversations with him. One can not with accuracy up to every word spoken play, but just a few words, reflecting the views of the interlocutor, to convey the essence of the conversation. Again, do not forget the main thing: To evaluate the person, you can listen to what others say about him, but to sink to the discussion of the eye will not.

Describing the events of our trip, we use the artistic works, or rather their story structure. After all, as writers write? According to the plan. And in this regard merely 4 points.
1. Exposition. We answer the question: How did you start an event?
2. Development of action. Just describe what actions took place, who and what he did, he said, thinking.
3. Culmination. This is the most stressful time of action, when all on the brink of life and death, the pros and cons, good and evil.
4. Denouement. What ended the event? What lesson you learned from him? How it changed lives, yours and others?

While traveling, we can become not only the heroes of a accident, but its observers witnessed. This is also a good idea to write. After all, the wise learns from others' mistakes.

Do not forget that people love to read, first, the memoirs of famous people (and now prime), and secondly, the notes of travelers. Who knows, maybe not just for yourself you write notes on his trip? Wake up your talents!
