I'm building a new blog site [link below] with the title "bole" and looking for writing "written from elsewhere".   I hope to provide links to good sites with good creative writing about experiences of authors living outside their country of birth.  Realizing not all writers have blogs, I'm also looking for short [500 words mas o menos] personal essays, creative nonfiction, anecdotes, etc. to post on "bole."  I have a readership of "1" (that would be me) and no intention to make a dime, nor pay a dime, the only intention is to create a space with information in stories well-told about what life is like living elsewhere.  Or about what is missed about places lived and left behind.  Or what is remembered from an earlier foreign abode. 

Often a blog site will only have one or a few entries about a place or its people, but also include excellent pieces about any number of other things (parenting, gardening, trains, you-name-it).  I'm not necessarily looking for sites that deal exclusively with "living and writing from elsewhere" so much as sites with contemporary and highly readable, interesting work.

Suggestions?  Thoughts?  Thanks, lynn

No suggestions, Lynn, but good luck! Will keep in mind for expats I may run across. Tom

thanks, tom. 

dear Lynn

having now lived for about 34 years or so of my present 58 outside of the country where i was born
this sounds like you will be creating an interesting venue.

look forward to dropping in to have a look from time to time.
