So, I forgot to tell everyone WHY I haven't been posting for a week.
Two thoughts on that. First, I don't want to be tied to the journal, the idea is for it to be a fun, and regular, outlet for me to practice the art and techniques of good writing, both creative and journalistic musings on life and travel. This is all important for me as I ramp up my efforts to get travelpete.com going and work on possible travel book outlines and newspaper articles.
Second, my family was in town. They are uprooting their Illinois lives and moving to Colorado, so it was a worthwhile break to entertain them for the week and assist in what small ways I could as they looked for a home to rent prior to getting out here in June.
So, they found a house, they are moving out to Colorado, they will be going back to Rockford, and I'll be posting more regularly again!
