I'm on year seven of writing A Life Well Relived. The journey of the writing drives an awful lot of pleasure in my life. Lately, I've come to think that my experience with this story will be unique. The reader will only experience one version, never knowing about all the other ideas that were worked, but removed because they just didn't belong in this particular story. All those little detours are why this is taking so long. But not only are they a lot of fun, I believe they are necessary in finding the story.
