Oaxaca/Puebla is second only to Italy for me when it comes to food. |

I remember reading your adventures in this thread.
Congrats on finally getting it published. What makes that process so long or did you only recently submit your story?

Thanks!
It took about 4.5 years of working 1-2 hours/day to complete the book. 30% of that was research. The first draft took about 2 years. The second draft took about a year. Subsequent editing took about a year and a half. I don't think I would have finished it w/o covid and the switch to working at home full time. That freed up 2.5 hours per day just commuting. I had no idea what I was doing in the beginning. Knowing what I know now and starting from the level my writing is at now, I could probably cut the time roughly in half. I do plan to do South America soon, and write another book about it. Then hopefully the whole world. |

Any big trips on the horizon? I miss my time living abroad. I’m working on doing the whole digital nomad thing.

Yeah I need to go back and finish South America. My blog is named Ushuaia Or Bust, which means I've been in bust mode for six years. I've got another short trip in a month, then it's decision time.

I'd suggest you put a link and short explanation for your book in the OP.
You never know when someone will be checking out old threads.

Should have gone with Passport to Patagonia. The searches of google alone would have thrown you a ton of traffic.
I'm guessing this isn't Jack Kerouac meets Bukowski?...
