I just wanted to let everyone know my new blog, Outdoor Weblog, is now live at Creative Weblogging. Come on over and say hi!
Note: To the coward from Nicholasville, Kentucky who tried to leave a comment, I know who you are. I sent you an email hoping we could work this out. I did not receive a response from you. If you don't want discuss this, then don't read my blog or attempt to leave anonymous comments. Move on!
Happy Friday!
I just wanted to thank everyone for their support. Posts will resume on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
It seems the name Traveler's Pen is catching on and not in a good way. Ironically, there's a new travel website called, The Traveler's Pen. Even more, they're advertising for travel writers on Craigslist. For the record, THIS IS NOT ME! I am not advertising for travel writers for my blog. While I'm Traveler's Pen (without The) and they're THE Traveler's Pen, I'm a little uncomfortable with the similarities. Since I'm a travel writer, this is a travel blog, and the website names are close, people assume I'm the one looking for writers. This bothers me because the ad says they pay in revenue (which I'm strongly against) and is riddled with spelling errors. As a writer, I pride myself on professionalism and I do not want my readers, editors, and anyone else thinking I'm associated with this project. I've been in contact with the editor requesting an distinction be made between the two. Until I hear from him, please note again: I'm not associated with THE Traveler's Pen nor am I looking for travel writers for this blog. Please do not send me your queries, clips, or resumes. I will not open them or respond and will delete them on receipt.
Thank you.
I'm making a few design changes today and tomorrow. But, don't worry, posts will be back either Tuesday or Wednesday. Trust me, you'll love the changes!

Hey Everybody!
I wanted to let you know I've had difficulties with my internet access this week. Posts will resume on Monday. Thanks for understanding.

Due to an overwhelming response and after much consideration, I've decided to keep Traveler's Pen as a travelers resource answering and addressing travel-related questions. I apologize for any inconvenience. My goal is to make this blog unique and I feel the original format will accomplish that.
I will be making changes. In addition to the Traveler Next Door and the travel questions, I'm still working out the clinks, but look for a destination feature and something else to be determined later.
Here's the new weekly schedule:
Monday --- TBA
Tuesday --- Travel Question
Wednesday --- Destination of the Week
Thursday --- Travel Question
Friday --- The Traveler Next Door
I know this may be confusing, but I promise I will work all this out soon. Hang in there!! Until then, look for another travel question tomorrow.

Welcome to the New Traveler's Pen!
As you read yesterday, I've decided to reinvent Traveler's Pen, again. Well, it's actually not a reinvention. I'm going back to the original format AND merging the current format. After a great month (thanks for your participation), I realize there's a drought of resources for beginning freelance writers. But, I also want to help novice travelers. So, I'm combining the two.
This time, Traveler's Pen will have a weekly format:
Mondays: My Beginning (an interview with writers about the start of their career)
Tuesdays: Travel Question
Wednesdays: Markets (submission friendly markets)
Thursdays: TBA
Fridays: The Traveler Next Door (interview with travelers discussing their travel habits)
Traveler's Pen will cater to all genres, not just travel writers. I'll explain more next week with My Beginning. I'm still working everything out, but, look for a new Traveler Next Door, Nyeshia Early, on Friday.

Happy Tuesday Traveler's Pen Readers!
Yes, you read the title correct. Traveler's Pen will undergo another reinvention. But, don't worry it will not take six months this time. Actually, it'll only take a day. But, to give you clue, the new section, The Traveler Next Door will be a part of the new direction. In fact, the new Traveler's Pen will once again cater to beginning travel writers with interviews with travelers and writers, new markets, and more. Look for an explanation tomorrow.
There will not be a question today in observance of Dr. Martin Luther King's birthday.

Welcome Freelance Writing Readers! Thank you for checking out my blog. Currently, I'm on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean with a very weak internet connection. Questions will resume on Monday. Until then, if you have a travel question, please send an email to travelerspen@yahoo.com or leave a comment.
