Week #3 – on writing

I have committed writing this blog regularly, so even though I haven’t had time yet to write up about my recent adventures, I have to post something.. as boring or short it might be.. First, have to get into the habit of writing, after that I can work on improving the quality.

In regards to writing, sometimes I’m wondering which of my adventures I can write about and which I can’t. I’m pretty private person and I very much feel like “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” and some things should be left as inside jokes between the people who know the original context. Do I use real names of people, change names or just use the first initial of the real name? Do I write stories only after considerable time has passed? What do other people do? I’m reading right now a book The Lost Girls – its a memoir about three 28 year old women who are traveling around the world. I wonder whether they have changed the names of the people they have met along the way. They do go into a lot of details, but are there adventures that were left out?
Also, how precise can I be with my itinerary? More precise and more notice gives more chances for chance encounters with acquaintances or friends of friends and so far no creepy stalking has happened.
Sunday was the last day of the ten day long Sea Sun Swing camp. Pictures and a video will follow.
On Monday morning I still didn’t had an idea where exactly I gonna go Monday. It didn’t bother. I think I’m getting better at that “living in the now” thing. After a small planning session with Google search in the evening we took off for a road trip through south of France. Adventures ensued. A post about that will follow. 
I’m now in Paris, and will continue on to Cardiff for the weekend and London after that.
