WRITING

Real travel is...

Without the internet on your mind

Without a mobile in your hand

But with the wind in your hair

And freedom in your soul

– Ken Potter

INTRODUCTION

Over the years, Potter has written many articles and short stories for magazines and online.  He has also written theatrical pieces and is just completing his second play.

His first show – BEYOND BORDERS: The Quixotic Adventures of Sir Ken – is a true story about an 8-year world trip he undertook. The synopsis for this show can be read in the link below...

The second play – Rats – is completely fictional and takes place in a Sydney office equipment company. Two sales employees, Shelley and Danny, are jolted out of their laid-back ways when a new hard-hitting sales manager fronts up.  As the new regime progresses, intrigue sets in.      

 

Much of Ken's writing is inspired by travel. Two examples of his travel writing are featured on this website.

In 1994, he cycled across the Algerian Sahara. Sand Storming, the article he wrote about the adventure was published in Mountain Biking UK and can be read in the SAHARA link below. The article is accompanied by the appropriate photographs.

In 2006/7, he cycled across Cuba.  His competition-winning travel story – Following In The Footsteps Of Che – can be read in the CUBA link below. The article is accompanied by the appropriate photographs.

A sample of his short story writing – Wheel Of Fortune – can be read in the link below...

A sample of his microfiction (a story told in 100-words) – The King's Gambit – can be read in the link below...
