Wow! The response to this piece blows me away. In between the words in this story is self-doubt about the quality and worth of my creative pursuits, so from the bottom of my heart I thank you for reading, and for the kind comments.
I've been on Medium for 5 years and am coming to grips with the idea that I'm not prolific enough to pump out stories for any meaningful income. Every now and then though, I send one off and it hits home with readers.
I am excited to release my collection of fly fishing essays titled, Canyon Therapy, this summer. It will be also be available as an audiobook as I read over recorded sounds of the Deschutes River.
With Gratitude
