Trip maps
I'm a little surprised to find I've touched down in nearly every State and Province north of the Mexican border in this lifetime. It doesn't seem like I've traveled all that much. Washington and Oregon are pretty conspicuous misses. I did get within sight of Clarkston, Washington from Lewiston, Idaho one day on a Motorcycle trip down the western edge of Idaho. Does that count? I'm not sure if I've been to Delaware or not- certainly not as a destination but I may have passed through a time or two - I just can't remember. Nunavut didn't even exist until fairly recently and since it's not reachable by road I'll probably never get there.

Give it, Give it All, Give it Now
One of the few things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book, or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.
