I want to wallpaper my house with maps. But I move too often, and I like my old maps.

@RustyBertrand I dreamt about exactly that when I was younger. But there comes a time when you have to be "practical", i.e. moving to a lager house when you're having kids and then to a smaller house when they leave home. I sometimes wish I had just persisted becoming a writer in my own cozy cottage in Scotland, not too far from Edinburgh, and then have all sorts of maps on the wall between the bookshelves. But I love my kids - I wouldn't want to miss them for anything. @elala @bcham

This is my first home. Legal contract.

Homeless, working, renting basements and attics to survive since leaving home at 17. No life advice.

My parents brought me up on the road. Car and caravan. Or communes.

@RustyBertrand It makes me sad when people I like had a rough and tough life in the past. But then again they have a broader experience that kneaded them to vibrant and open-minded personalities, with good insights on essential topics that I can relate to.
