Heh. Good tip, Deb.

I'm not submitting it anywhere at the moment--I'm using it as a writing sample for a job I'm applying to. I would like to look into publishing some travel pieces, though. I need to look up some travel magazines and see what their requirements are.

edit: forgot to say, thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

erika, backsent. I love the changes you made to the story. I wish you all the best getting it published. It is a truly wonderful piece.

Kate, good one! Thanks, sj, glad to hear my experiment paid off.

Kate, I think Travel & Leisure does the nice one-page pieces an travel experiences. I love that damned magazine, but I can't read it at the moment, due to heart-breakage courtesy of lack of funds to travel right now, damn it.

Deb, I'll check out Travel & Leisure. Thanks!

Veeeeeery late, but anyway: Kate, I loved reading it - especially the paragraph in the separate post (and I agreed with it completely).

So, I have an idea.

A lot of you know about the weekly fandom drabble challenges that are on LiveJournal (like FarscapeFriday, Open_On_Sunday [for Buffyverse], etc.); in fact, a lot of you participate.

Would anyone be interested in a weekly non-fandom drabble challenge? I can set up an LJ community for it. And people who don't have LJ accounts -- you can still post as "guest," or "anonymous."

I'm thinking of writing prompts like: "Two people are sitting opposite each other at a table. Drabble it. Anything goes."

Anyone interested?

That sounds interesting, Teppy. I'd sign on.

Teppy - I would love to read them.

(I've gotten out of the way of reading the fandom drabbles.)

I'd sign on, Teppy, for the reading. And maybe even for attempting to write.
