Elsewhere on offer
What I offered.
A little while back, striving to introduce narrative-rigor into my choppy blog voice, I tried to write a piece for the travel site BootsnAll.com.
Drawing heavily from observations made here and doodly notes, I compiled something I'd hoped read as a loosely-joined series of lyrical a-lightings across the sub-continent. The editors of Bootsnall were not lyrically set-alit and beside taking a heavy editing hand to the piece, they also roundly told-me off for thinking myself bigger than narrative conventions.
Here's what ended up going live - my India grab-bag: Pieces of India on Bootsnall.
(Mea culpas made, I do challenge anyone to "write" India as something that could be consecutive...)
c - admittedly not that linear in the west either
Is this a fair use of the blog? Yes, I do think so - roundly self-promoting but travel-related after all and for the worthy end of a trip to Thailand...
Vote objectively but kindly, forward and in the spirit of competition, enter yourself.
More travel tales soon - a busy summer of Circa Trade shop and not enough on-the-road adventures. But now there's the fall and all the momentum that comes with it and stocks are, well, running low.
