No balanced person writes a novel

Love the truth in this: “No balanced person writes a novel. You sit down at the desk, shackle your mind to the project, wade into an imaginary swamp with made-up people. For days. Weeks. Sometimes even years. That’s fucking batty.”
—-J. Robert King

Watch your husband cycle from Jasper to Banff, then talk to me about life. I’ll answer. It’s close to writing a novel, I promise you.

Good to know:

Cycling from Jasper to Banff = batty, as well.

Thanks.

I might push you over. It’s time for a new novel! Sorry if you lose your mind but I need a profound story and some characters who know and speak the things I’m unable to.
