All personality types can be good writers, whether a person is extroverted or introverted, adventurous or reserved, it doesn t make any difference. The saying that writers are reserved geeks is a myth. There are numerous writing genres and this article gives an overview of writing genres as Lowcountry womens fiction author. There are writers who enjoy outdoor writing over the others and have taken it as a career, writers like Catherine Marshall and Ben Groundwater.

Usually, these writers take trips to places offering recreational activities like camping, kayaking, biking, scuba diving, hiking, hunting, and etcetera. While others use these experiences to write books like The Science and Spirit of the Ocean by Jonathan White, the majority write articles to sell to travel magazines, websites, newspapers, and outdoor trade magazines.

Some when they are at these holiday destinations focus on finding the things that are unique and fun to do at a particular holiday area. Some focus on the cost of the overall trip while some focus on how easy or difficult it is to tour in these areas. They then write reviews on the holiday websites, or advertise them in tourism magazines for a fee or write articles for their blogs.

One advantage of this writing genre is that once an article is written, the same information can be sold to several people at a time. However, the writer should make it meet the individual needs of each buyer while making each article unique. One way of achieving this is to make rewrites of one article, use different pictures and follow the guidelines of the buyer while rewriting the article. So, with one trip, several articles can be written and sold to different people.

This writing genre can be stressful at times, it is not just about going to fancy hotels and adventurous trips to write an article. You ll have to be both a writer and a financial planner. Sometimes you ll be paid less than what you spent during your travel. Now, that in business terms is called a loss. So you may be forced to go on a traveling budget sometimes, taking long uncomfortable flights to your destination instead of flying first class.

Although some travel writers say they have time to have fun during their visits, a majority say they are at work most of the time and don t find the trips as fun as a casual visitor finds them. They always have to be on the lookout for extraordinary things or some things they find can make their articles and books interesting. They take pictures of the area and write notes almost all the time they are there.

Not all outdoor writers love traveling or are adventurous, some like staying at home while others have never gotten out of their countries. They don t write about holiday destinations, they write about simple things like gardening, farming, geology and anything concerning the outside world.

Travel writers travel worldwide and make money from that.
