My Top 5 Writing Venues

As you already know, I spend most of my time writing about travel. Aiming to get the most out of my work, I never stop looking for new ways to increase my productivity. Over the time, I tried to write in various circumstances in order to determine my own style and to fully develop it. I’ve done all these being totally convinced that my attempts would eventually lead me to what is the key to a maximum efficiency. Consequently, I’ve discovered that each venue I choose to write my articles gives me a unique perception, each time of the day makes me see things in a different light and each weather variation influences my mood and my writing rhythm. These being said, I’m ready to share with you my favorite writing venues, hoping that they might help...

My First Interview

My First Interview

I am so happy today! I’ve just had my first interview. Maybe it’s not such a big deal, but for me is pretty important and considering that only few months have past since I’ve made my first account on a social network and launched my blog, this interview proves that my work was not in vain. Everything started few days ago when someone contacted me on Twitter, asking if I would like to give an interview about my favorite beach. At first I was a little suspicious and very surprised that someone was interested in me, so I started asking questions. I found out that the interview was for iwantsun.co.uk and I felt proud that they picked me. What can I say, being in the spotlight is not such a bad thing as I used to believe. As a freelance writer, I know that...

Last Day at Work, First Day as a Freelance Writer

I’ve finally made it! I quitted my job for the love of travel and writing After 6 month of blogging, guest posting, reading, learning, researching, mistaking, traveling and hardly dealing with my job, I’ve finally decided to become FREE…lancer. It was a very difficult period of hard work, sleep deprivation, full weekends and double life but I crossed over and today I begin another chapter of my life. My last day at work Friday was officially my last day at work. I felt a little sad, I have to admit it but not because I was getting out from my routine, but because I was having my last coffee with the colleagues and because I knew we won’t be able to maintain the same relation, the same friendship as long as we will not spend as much time together. I was...

First 3 Steps as a Freelance Writer

As a child I had more than twenty notebooks filled with poems, some of them stupid, others published in unknown magazines and several attempts to write a novel but unfortunately, with no reason I stopped. Maybe it was the distrust that I felt, maybe it was the world I was living in with engineering parents and friends with different occupations, maybe it was the little town where I was born and where I was ashamed to be unlike the others, but definitely, I failed because I had no internet access and not even an idea about its existence. The first steps as a freelance writer are, of course, the hardest but once you moved on, the road will be filled with satisfaction, confidence and rewards. I chose to be a freelance writer some time ago when I have decided that...
