Having been in since since 1989, and full time from 1992-2018, I can empathize with Claire.
26+ years was a long haul, especially adding in the FSW. I've mixed feelings about it all in retrospect.
As did Claire, I also sacrificed a great deal of higher earnings in that time.
I, too, recently took a very nice consulting gig in a completely new field. The folks I work with are Patriots and shooters, else I wouldn't be helping them.
I haven't published any new books since 11/2017's final third volume of Modules for Manhood 3. My non-MfM book sales are somewhat dependent upon the current level of concern with government encroachment. My high-water mark was during Obama's first term. I couldn't keep BGB in stock back then. Amazon is now dicking with me and the MfM series, so I'll have to regain it some traction elsewhere. I consider MfM1-3 my best and most important work.
I'm keen to write more books, and likely have at least one bestseller in me. I'll begin this summer to write again. But I'll never again let the Patriot Movement subsume my life. I've "rowed my oar" there, and have the calluses to prove it.
Wishing my friend and colleague Claire Wolfe the best,
Boston
You've done a good job, Boston. I thank you as well for your fine books. They have brought light and joy to me, as I'm sure they have to many others.
Steve Jobs may have been a CIA spook actor who faked his own death, but he had some good advice, I think, when he said in that commencement address to trust that everything will come together in the end. All the different experiences, the talents and skills picked up along the way, your unique "talent stack" as Scott Adams of Dilbert calls it, can all come together in a magnificent synergy in the end and enable you to do work truly outstanding and meaningful, that only you can do.
As we age our minds fall apart and ambition flags, though, so the clock is ticking.
You probably still have another decade at least of great productivity,
Boston Kenneth now, I guess! Make it an awesome one! I wish you all the best of success!
