Chapter 13: "The Travel Article"
1. Descriptive detail is key
2. Get yourself outside of your subjective experience while writing to also "keep an objective eye on the reader" and their sense of novelty--avoid well-known, well-traveled facts and details about well-known places
3. Focus on "placed" human drama, life to death
4. Rely on others with stronger connections to the place to supply the emotional quotations

Chapter 5, "The Audience," states that a writer should only write for themselves and for no other audience ultimately, because only then will their writing be worthwhile.
