Adventures Continue

As fond as I am of adventures that leave blisters on my feet, sunburns on my nose, and callouses on my hands, my adventure this last month was not one of those. On this sojourn I discovered and re-discovered, as usual. I mapped terrain I had not anticipated, and solved problems with tools that were only tangentially equipped for the task (such as using cell phones as lights for unexpected night boating, because it's not an adventure until something unplanned happens). I dedicated time and preparation, ventured forth aware of the risks and equipped with adequate armor (this time it was a pen and notebook instead of bear spray or spare bike tubes). I experienced a spectrum of emotions, from doubt to elation. November was a sincere adventure, and so was my exploration with novel-writing. Now, I get to write the rest of the story and plan the next adventures, within and outside of the written word.
