Go ahead and grab that issue of Freeskier. Open up to the travel section and check out the story about Mt. Baker. I wrote that.




Across North America (and probably some other locations) people are picking up that very same issue and thumbing through my story. What a feeling.

Sadly, it's been about three years since I walked into the Tahoe City Albertsons with Wendy, grabbed the latest Powder Magazine and pointed to my name in it.

I didn't realize how great and beneficial that experience is. Authors love seeing their bylines and names in books for lots of reasons. The most common reason I suppose is vindication - some editor (credible writer) thinks my work is good. The. There's the fueled ego. This is where the author's head swells as large as their ego. Both of those reasons are long in the past for me.

This time feels like no other before. This time I've proven to myself I can still do it. This time I know I can write a better piece if I put more effort in. Now I truly know what it means to put on the kind of effort required for the kind of product I want.

It's been a long four years since I created quality magazine copy - long enough to doubt my ability to ever do it again.

I needed this. I needed this positive energy and forward motion to produce more positivity and forward motion.
