Subject: Writing the book Losing Sight of the Shore!
Stories connect and help us build bonds as human beings. For Rosa Linda Román, storytelling has been something she has done since working as a broadcast journalist. After leaving her landlocked life and moving into the s/v Dawn Treader, her experiences on the boat have become stories any person willing to venture into a traveling culture would want to listen to. And what best medium to do so than a book or a podcast?
Writing a book comes with its own challenges. However, as Rosa Linda admits, joining NaNoWriMo, a book writing challenge, was one of the most significant contributions to completing writing her book, Losing Sight of the Shore. First, she was able to work within a committed time frame. Second, she was able to block time for writing. Third, the ability to have writing sprints whereby one would try to beat the writer who’d written the highest number of words in a day was something Rosa Linda deemed as challenging and fun! So, if you have been lagging on doing something this episode will help you with tips on how to easily accomplish any task. Enjoy!
