Got any dusty relationships?
You go through a season in life where you’re really close to someone. You see him every day. You talk with her often.
Then, the next thing you know, you move or he graduates or she gets married and you hardly talk at all. Before you know it, your best friend is your former best friend.

I’ve always heard that writing is more about perspiration than inspiration. It’s true. Even though it is very fulfilling to write about the outdoors, it is also difficult at times to continue to find worthy subjects and stories. Sometimes my mind soars with information faster than my fingers can type; other times those same fingers seem like they’re waiting impatiently for the next command. During the times of inspiration I can’t wait to get to the computer. During other times I dread its call.
