    About this ebook

    Buy a small isolated cabin in a woods, and inevitable comparisons with the 'Walden Pond' cabin of iconic author Henry David Thoreau begin immediately. Decide to write memoires describing your first year of ownership of that cabin, and one feels Thoreau's guiding hand with each word and idea.

    Blend a light touch of fiction into your writing, and Thoreau himself pays a visit to not only help with the editing, but to further the meaning behind his own work on 'Walden'.

    So it went with me!

    I hope you enjoy, 'The Walden Gap'

      My Mid-life Crisis

      I’D SEEN THE WORD ON SOCIAL MEDIA. MID. THE SHOW WAS MID. THE song was mid. The rapper was mid. So many shows, songs, rappers, and more are unknown to me, trees in the now-bewildering wilderness of pop culture that the young navigate effortlessly. Bu

      Why We Write

      Aug 12, 2020

      AND WHY WE STOP THIS kind of thing used to thrill me—a few dozen writers huddled in a dark bar, taking turns at the mic, hooting and cheering one another afterward. I could sense the way it felt to most of them—nourishing, holy, the air charged with
