RE: Banged up in an Indian hospital!
The joys of eating on the subcontinent. I have not been there, but many of my friends have, and the stories I have heard. But nothing as severe as this. Were you able to catch up on missed travel opportunities, or was it back home after that?
The 2nd person POV works (I saw your request for feedback on Steem Engine), and didn't feel it jar me or throw the flow of reading out at all. I do a lot of creative writing, but I've not tackled 2nd person POV yet myself, as I do know that it is neither easy, nor everyone's cup of teas. So for me it was handled well.
I write, but not really about the content you've requested. Basically fiction, and creative writing. I do have a 'travel blog' - but it is a fictional and humorous take on the genre, which I publish once per week.
Thanks for the thoughtful response! As with most travel bloggers, I generally write in 1st person, but I find it can get a bit boring and dry to read sometimes, and I get sick of writing that way as well. 2nd person is a different way of engaging the reader, but the content needs to be just right; I think equal parts exciting and relatable makes a good recipe for 2nd person writing.
In June last year I set out on a mission to travel from India to Germany without using a plane. While I was laying in this hospital, I very nearly gave in and booked a flight to Berlin, but I held firm, and you'll be pleased to know that I was ultimately successful in my mission after 6 months. Now I'm in Mexico where I'm studying to become an English teacher. I'm essentially a full-time traveller at this point.
I'm on way my to class, but I just flicked through your profile, and you reference Led Zeppelin and Philip K. Dick in your titles, so I'll have to at the very least give your stuff a read on my lunch break. Also, the idea of a fictional and humorous travel blog sounds pretty fun! I really need to get back into the habit of reading fiction, since it's a good way to keep my own writing sharp.
