While we were in the canyon, all the news outlets started reporting that an escaped convict had stolen a car at gunpoint and fled to....the Grand Canyon. He was on the loose while we were hiking around. We never bumped into him. But while we were driving back to Phoenix a day later, there were police stops every ten miles for the first 100 miles leaving the Canyon, as the convict had resurfaced and stolen another car. We took a redeye flight that night from Phoenix to NYC.

Eventually, you'll write something good." I couldn't agree more. Let words pop onto a page (whether you like writing or typing drafts). It will spur ideas and move you closer to writing substance.
