A Story On Where I Found Freedom

Hi. This blog has been quiet this year, but I have a few new pieces of writing in the works that I should be posting about soon. How soon? Well, I've already got one for you!

I entered a travel writing contest at We Said Go Travel recently. The contest theme was independence or freedom, as in where in the world have you found independence or felt the most free? The nice folks at We Said Go Travel have been posting a couple entries a day (they got loads of them, from writers all over the world) every day. Today mine went live.

My entry is about a little town in New Mexico I visited back in the fall of 2008, when I was on my Greyhound trip around the southern and southwestern U.S. It's called New Mexico: Freedom on the Ground. I hope you read it, and I hope you enjoy it.

And for my fellow writing nomads out there, We Said Go Travel is hosting another writing contest soon, opening in September, on the theme gratitude. Check it out here.
