Boldly go
Patrick Forsyth is inspired by a famous travel writer’s spontaneity
Writers tend to fit on a scale with planners at one end and pantsters (those who work by the seat of their pants) at the other. In reality for most people it is not one or the other. Most do some planning – the kind of travel writing that comes from a trip or visit of some sort needs some. But even those who do a great deal of planning can benefit from a degree of spontaneity.
