How to Write
a Vacation Story

How could the way to write about
your out door trip be more plainly
and effectively shown than in this
masterpiece Of instruction, by Editor
+. l.. Johnson, of the Michigan
Sportsman?
oh writing, drop into an easy
a narrative vein as you can. bringing
out the little incidents of the jaunt
which made it delightful to you. Tell
us how the crisp air OF the pine
slashings inspired you, what the tall
signing pines whispered to you in
the smoke Of the camp curling up
through snow laden boughs. A
swamp is merely dismal, unattrac
tive swamp, the great sweep Of hill
and valley Just a burned barren OF
a dreary waste unless you people II
with song and sweep of birds Or the
throb and thrill of animate wild
things or unless you get from far
horizon rising 10 meet blue vault
of sky a distinct message. Your
reader doesn't want to know merely
that you got seven prong buck or
your limit OF birds or fish. What will
chain his attention is the incidents
Of the chase, kill or catch which gave
YOU excitement and Joy, and the beau
ties you saw which made the trip q
dream in memory to you. He is not
bloodthirsty while reading, whatever
he may become on the trail. Nor. is
your general statement that ut was
good to commune with nature in her
own domain" enough. Tell what
was the message you got from Ma
lures God and how 1t found its way
to you.
write in your own language the
excitement Of tracking and finding
your game, the thrill OF the draw and
Of the shot-"buck fever" II you had

deep, brown eyes pitifully speaking
to you OF a life going out. But don't
az you prize your honor as sports
man, gloat over blood and the strug
Cling death agony. Picture the sun
lit lake or stream with its shore trac
cry Of beach or bank, grass and Of
dropping leaf and branch-it might
as well be muddy canal unless YOU
give 1t to US in its beauty as you
saw it,--then tell the thrill of the
strike and relate every detail Of leap
of sulk, Of run or OF successful
wrenching Of the leader over sunker
logs. Not the writer versed in the
use Of the most perfect English, bu,
he who feelingiy and directly tells
Just how he felt, holds the reader.
Lastly write only on one side Of
each sheet with wide margins at the
top, bottom and sides. II you car
type your story, so much the better
But let it tell, unreservediy, your
own joyful experiences.
