: Re: From Journal to first draft - most effective route to take? Whilst travelling, I kept a journal and I have since written one part of my travels up as a book: http://www.weaveoftheride.com. However,
As with a lot of writing advice out there, I'd suggest focusing on what you find interesting in your travels, and using this as your theme (or structure).
If the travel was only to a single location, then what drew you there?
Whether vacation or work, you or your business chose to go there - focus on those reasons as a starting point, and you can draw all sorts of comparisons between expectations and reality (as well as conclusions, should you be so inclined) which in itself is already a simple theme.
If the travel was multiple locations, what was the purpose? What was the plan? Was the purpose met, did the plan change?
Again, answering this will give you a simple structure in and of itself. I'm sure there are many other approaches.
