I really loved your reminder to sign off, log out and write on paper! Thanks so much!
I am about to do just that after a month blogging, etc. during my trip to Brazil.
My recommendation for the day is this: take a moment this week to turn off your computer, be away from the sea of RSS feeds and emails and sit down with a pen and paper. Take time to write about your everyday surroundings and what you see. You don’t have to turn it into an article or a blog, this piece is just for you; a way to keep your creative energies going. Check back with me to let me know how it goes!

Hi Anna,
I wanted to know more about your experiences in Guadeloupe. I am looking for a way to pay off some debts, while finding time to work on my writing. Is the program offered to Canadian citizens? Also, exciting to hear about WEND magazine, I have an interesting story when I was in India I could share,
Be in touch

Hi Anna,
Teaching English in Guadeloupe is something I would love to do. I need to find out what documents need to be required and what steps need to be taken in order to achieve this dream. Thanks for your time.
sincerely,

Hi Anna,
I am currently applying for the Assistantship Program as offered by the French Embassy and wanted to hear more about your experiences. I think I am choosing Martinique & Guadeloupe as my first choice! If you get a chance, I’d love to hear more from you as I am making my decisions and looking forward to being a part of this program.
Thanks for your time!
Sincerely,
Marissa

Hi Anna Brones,
I’m a French/American currently living in the South of France. I’m moving to Guadeloupe in the near future and came accross your site talking about English teaching there. I’m also a writer and an artist. Have you got any pointers about employment there? I deeply enjoyed skimming your blog and look forward to taking a more detailed look. Thanks

I tracked you down via a June posting you wrote for Written Road. And finding your blog, I was surprised to find that a. I had left a comment for you here in the past and b. You work at Wend Magazine! Been meaning to pitch Wend for a while now. The reason I looked up your email was to simply say THANKS for the posting re: Matador sports editor. I have contacted them, belatedly, but would not have noticed this save for your Written Road post. Keep up the good work!

Hey Anna,
Very much enjoyed your blog, and came across it after I found an article you wrote about container ship travel. The link (my website) is my journey across the Atlantic, and actually wanted to ask whether you know if there are routes which go between the Europe and Western Africa. Im heading to make my way down, and would love to hear about it if you do.
Look forward to following your updates – where are your located btw?
Thanks,
Michael
