Around and About

I love to watch James Cagney and it was a pleasure to research his films (translation–sit on the couch and watch old movies).  Jane Boursaw added some really great movie clips to my post about Cagney films at Reel Life With Jane in my monthly Classic Connoisseur’s Guide to the Best Films and Stars. Hope you’ll take a look and let me know if you agree with my assessment of Jean Harlow in The Public Enemy.

Long ago I decided that the real money in travel writing probably goes to those who write books about How to Be a Travel Writer.  However, one book stands out as a helpful guide to people who seriously want to become travel writers. I read it when I started out, and it is still  around–now in its  7th edition.  I review the classic The Travel Writer’s Handbook: How to Write – and Sell – Your Own Travel Experiences at Absurd Reviews.

After last weeks extravaganza of e-books (Did you check out the possibilities of Housesitting, or plan a trip to Cape Cod?) we’ll be back to print–going to Italy, China and France. And you won’t want to miss Travel Photo Thursday, when I share pictures of nine Greek Islands I visited on a sailing trip around the Cyclades.

  1. I think writing e-books (if you become known) is the way to go, but I’m still a believer in creating blog sites, especailly travel sites have value. I’m going to bookmark this one!

    1. Greg: Thanks for the comment, but I edited it to delete the commercial references. You wouldn’t want to be caught spamming, now would you?
