The Bible As A Travel Guide

December 9, 2008

Eric at Travel Blogs has come up with another innovative way to explore the way we all travel - in reality or in our minds. He asked us to connect up the books and other media that had inspired travel. You can read these, including a slightly unusual source of inspiration for the Pickled Eel here.

Blogging Connections

April 27, 2008

This blog caught my eye mainly because its author shares similar sentiments - a desire to let the creative juices loose and to be a little less focused on the day job and to “leave the creative desert” behind. Mind you I don’t think I am quite at the point where I can indulge putting writing centre stage in my life. But the idea sure does have some appeal. Getting 70,000 words down part time takes a while!! And there are plenty more that still need to be captured and put onto paper before that particular project is completed.
