[QUOTE="sillydoll, post: 103134, member: 8"] I hope that this thread has encouraged would be authors to think more deeply about their story - past the first impulsive urge to write about their daily walk on the Camino. I hope it encourages them to read up and include a bit of historical background; to check their geography; check the spelling of the names of the villages and towns; to remember the smells and the colours of the spring flowers or autumn wheat; to describe the sunsets; to make our mouths water with their descriptions of the food, even if it is a common old bocadillo with jamon y queso! Tell us more about yourself - what you enjoyed most about the Camino. . Was it the walking or was it the fauna and flora; was it the fabulous art or the architecture; was it the history and traditions or was it the folk-lore? Did you meet any angels? or Demons? Were there special little nuggets of conversation that you can share with your readers? Without proselytizing, did you have a religious ephiphany or a spiritual awakening? Most pilgrims write their book in hindsight - usually a year or so after returning home - and nobody (as far as I know) has shared how the Camino affected them or changed their way of life when they got got back to their normal lives. Now that would be interesting! There are love songs, and then there are love sonnets! Lets have more sonnets. [/QUOTE]
