Write the Journey


Consider the journey's metaphorical use in writing. Where do you begin?  What must remain behind?  Think of items necessary to make the trip.

Choose a road, a trail, or passage on a river.

Find a destination like a camp surrounded by trees. Does a house or inn appear in the distance?

Do you require a partner on the trip?


How do you deal with weather and temperature shifts?

In what ways do you manage discomfort?



Are you unnerved by surprises that meet you around the bend in the river or at the next turn in the trail?

What happens next?

Describe the wildlife and nature in detail.




Imagine you have no destination.


Find each step along the way and how it unravels the unexpected and mysterious without an arrival point.






Describe how
happiness or contentment evolve during the manner
of traveling.
