Travel memoir 3rd draft update

Table of Contents

Heya everyone, I am delighted to announce the third draft of my new travel book turned travel memoir is now complete.

The books evolution from the second draft has continued. If you read the update post on the second draft you will know the book transitioned from just independent travel stories to include an overarching story line which highlight my rollacoaster highs and lows from traveling the world for nearly a decade.

Through the travel memoir 3rd draft new stories have been included, some that didn’t fit the overall story were removed and a finer balance has been struck between the parallel journey the book will take you on.

Turned into a travel memoir

With the progression of the story line, the book can be considered more as a travel memoir rather than a collection of short travel stories. However the layout of the book is still the same. The first few travel stories may seem unconnected to begin with, but an overarching thread soon becomes prevalent, but the full story doesn’t unravel until much later in the book.

The stories are not all straightforward adventures, and everything doesn’t smell rosy. traveling life is just not like that in real life. It highlights some of the toughest times I’ve had traveling, emotional times, loss, conflicts and setbacks. Of course its not all doom and gloom there are incredible adventures, life changing moments and you get to see a true sense of how and why I live this nomadic life of mine for nearly a decade.

The travel memoir 3rd draft is now full of 25 carefully selected travel stories that unravel the bigger picture as the book unfolded itself. They include adventures, misadventures, prominent moments that have changed perception, or even changed my life’s direction.

I have also tried to give a full range of different settings, situations of journeys that show my evolution over the years.

What’s happening with the book now

I’m also delighted to let you all know with the completion of the travel memoir 3rd draft, it has been sent out for the first round of beta reads. I’m looking forward to receiving the feedback to see what needs to be improved before sending the book to the editor.

While in the meantime I will be developing the cover but before that a title for the book needs to be decided on and whether or not the book needs to be split into two volumes. That will be decided at a later date though and after more rounds of edits.

On a side note, would you like to read a blog post about the full process I’ve gone through in writing the book from thinking it up to completion and publishing? Let me know in the comments if you would.

Still no title

Unfortunately, with the completion of the travel memoir 3rd draft there still isn’t a title for the book.

For some reason, although there is a few choices for a title none of them feel right yet.

I am sure it will come to me soon, or possibly receive suggestions from the beta readers or if you would like to add a suggestion just like you did with the book blurbs feel free to drop a comment.

There will be a blog post soon with a list of suggestions for book titles which i would love for you all to get involved with and propose your suggestions too.
