A Writing Vacation into History

Have you wondered what it would feel like to travel across the country in a conestoga wagon? Imagine a trip with Lewis and Clark in Sacajawea's persona. Consider a sailing adventure in the days of the Flying Cloud, the fastest clipper ship of her time.

A balloon ride around the world would intrigue a writer. If you took notes as a co-pilot for Amelia Earhart you might have changed her life.

Musing about historical vacations inspires possibilities in writing.

Take a vacation from what you usually write.

Choose a type of airplane, hot air balloon or a wagon train. You might prefer a sailboat adventure or a windjammer cruise.

Set the stage for your journey by selecting a time in history and place to embark. Choose a famous person to accompany you. Then launch into details and write your excursion.

How will you change history with your adventure?

Buen viaje!
