Writing is only one part of a person's life. If you're writing well but everything else is a mess, then your life is a mess. I'm not saying this was your situation. I'm just speaking in general terms. By the way, being able to run up and down mountains for 11 hours is pretty damn amazing!!!!

I hear you! But why does it feel like sometimes either my world is on fire but the writing is good, or my world is balanced by the words don’t happen.

I kid, you’re right, it’s only one part.

And despite my dreams it’s still a hobby. One with a compulsive drive behind it, but still something meant for fun.

I haven’t quite managed that long on the mountain, but hopefully with a ton of work come Oct 19th, I’ll be ready.

Thank you for reading and commenting, Jim.

Wow 22 years together - that's wonderful - and running up mountains too!

I am all for the outdoor life.

Looking forward to getting stuck into microcosm

Thank you!

The mountain bit is a touch mad tho, but I we need that every now and then.

I think I remember that from some of your photos.

I'm excited to see what you do with it! 🚀

But, I’m not a fan of camping.

Dad Jokes.

My seven year-old daughter and I, can’t get enough of them.

So I may be cresting the supposed midpoint of life, but at least I’m in the Golden Age of dad jokes!

Thank you for reading, Reuben.
