Adventure Writing

Thankfully,  no one ever reads my blog.  It's too rangy in topic matter,  features projects that go nowhere & lots of spelling& grammatically errors.  A lot of fault lies  with the fact that I don't polish my writing & I don't plan it much.  
But,  strike me low if I ever write to a formula.  I've just purchased an Anne Mustoe title & I feel as though I was effected by temporary insanity.  If there's one thing I dislike its mundanity & conformity.  Open with an "engaging" quote by some lauded adventure person,  last up some historical notes & finish off with some small details that will leave the reader convincerned your are superhuman - even though it's obviously untrue.  Jesus,  Mary & Joseph!
Where the blanky adventure & spontaneity in that!? Surely the  we as adventurous types can write radical raw stuff that conveys a certain "dangerousness" & experiences unique & meaningful to at least some of us.

I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
