I have never thought about writing a book because I don't think I have the skills required to be
a writer: I am not so patient, I don’t write particularly well, and I don't
consider myself that creative
(=
so creative)
.
So it would be extremely hard. But if I had time, and since you ask me, I could
try to write a book on traveling, like a tourist guide- book. I don't think there are so many famous
books of the kind in China, so I could give it a shot give it a try
.
In addition, it is my dream to travel around my country while paid by my editor at the same
time. I would take a year, or maybe two, and send articles on a weekly basis. First, they could be
published in a magazine, maybe, and later on
,
collected into a book.
I would write some anecdotes
(=
shot stories) about my daily excursions, and some stories to
describe the people I meet. It would be like a diary about my itinerary travel route
.
I think people
would be interested in learning about local customs, especially in the countryside. I could add
pictures to illustrate my stories as well.
On top of this, I guess it would be a good idea to include some practical information about each
place. For example, I could recommend some hotels and restaurants
.
I could describe some famous
dishes and the way the local chefs prepare them. I think it would be useful to readers if I could
include some maps as well as some info about transports and guided tours
.
China is a huge country, so I don't know where I would start, but I have always dreamt of going
to Sichuan and Tibet. These places sound very attractive to me
.
Who knows, if the first book sold
well, I could do the same thing in Australia or America. I could write in Chinese about the national
wonders of the Australian outback, or life in the American Midwest. You know, more Chinese
tourists can now afford to go overseas. They might enjoy reading about my discoveries and
impressions before going themselves
