A "world room." That's what my husband and I have been dreaming of creating in our home since we started dating over ten years ago. A recent assignment for Old City Life magazine put me in front of a local travel writer, Tammy Harrow. Tammy has three kids, all who have the travel bug just like her.
Her home made my dream for a "world room," that had been back burnered for a while, come racing back to the forefront of my mind. There were souvenirs from the family's travels accenting every corner of the home. When I sat down to write the article it reminded me of a travel piece. Descriptively identifying points in their home, while tying in dialog from a nearly two-hour long conversation.
These days I mostly write about marketing, how to use social media in business, artificial intelligence in marketing, inside sales, and other content for corporate executives, small business owners, and marketers. I enjoy creating this type of content as it applies my business degree. But sitting down and stringing words together that will hopefully bring the reader along on a tour of the home, made my heart happy too.
A lot of the books that I've read lately have been about writing. I'm currently devouring How to Be a Travel Writer by Don George. I read this quote last night and was truly inspired. This sentence accurately describes what I aim for in my writing.
At the advice of Tammy, I'm taking a deep breath and reaching out to some major magazines with pitches. I will continue writing business articles, but I want to explore more of the world, as well as my writing capacities.

Have you taken the leap to contact any national/international publications? Do you have any advice for me or others looking to do the same?
