A Synapse of Thoughts on Three Hundred Blog Posts

Clara, My Editorial Assistant, Sleeping on My Lap or Rather My Laptop

Story, short, sweet, sweeping, SEO, sections, scintillating, syncopation, sponsors, sexy, silky, systematic, seductive, sensory, shitty, shaky, succinct, sequence, senses, seeds, senseless, satisfaction. More storytelling. Silly cat.

This is the sort of jumble that passes through my brain as I stare at the blank screen of my computer. Then I begin to fill that empty page in with words, links and images, as more of a hodgepodge gathers in my head. And those are just the “s” words. Indeed, a lot of time and energy goes into every post and that’s after a bunch of initial research which often includes planning a trip, then traveling to a certain destination and seeing what hits me there.

My biggest challenge is short and sweet, perhaps since I come from a book background and the desire to spin a story seems to override the need to cut my prose to the bone.

I hope you’ll take time to peruse the three hundred posts I have at www.bonjourcolorado.com thus far. My blog is chockfull of information wrapped into my own impressions and sometimes those of the people that accompany me on my journey. The folks I meet once there also shape my experience, since travel is not just about where you go—it’s also about who you take along and who you encounter once there.

Bon voyage!
