My feature story on Richard Jones appears in this month’s issue of Climbing magazine. Which is nearly to the day one year after I sent my editor at Climbing my original query letter. This particular feature is a classic case study in the process of writing. Writing takes times. And, I mean all writing. My monthly column, freelance features in magazines and writing opt-in articles for publications at work require care and effort. From initially brainstorming an idea, to hours of interviews and edits, it can take weeks, months, or in this case a year before a feature goes to print. For me it’s totally worth the wait. I love seeing my by-line and the evolution of a story over time. Most of you know that patience isn’t my foremost virtue, so please remind me of this fact the next time I complain about waiting for a feature to arrive on newsstands!
