I like when you write about your farming experiences. "The Hardest Part of Being a Farmer..." and "Revel in the Glory of What You Have Accomplished." are bangers.
"Fall Kidding Underway..." is another great example of what I love.
As well, your more big picture philosophical posts like "The hyper-capitalism of the left", "The Boomer's Worst Nightmare", "The Cancers of Modern-isms" and "What's Wrong With the World" I also enjoy.
Basically your deep ponderings as you watch your goats graze. I miss your newsletters.
I know you are currently writing fiction but it would be great if you wrote a non-fiction book about your musings, similar to what Aaron Clarey does (groups a whole bunch of blog posts together into a book).
Thanks man. I needed this sort of inspiration. Not really sure where my writing is going but you are correct I need to focus on what I originally intended to write....
Thanks ValuesLiberty, glad I can return the favour, as your posts have always been helpful to me. I wonder if you can wrap up a lot of your non-fiction posts with a title such as "Musings from a Goat-Herder", or "Field Notes from the Edge of Empire:
One man’s reflections on farming, freedom, and the future" (I thought of something like this because I did some research on the Fall of Rome awhile back trying to find out how people thrived in a failing empire and I found out that those who survived best lived on the outer edges of the empire and were self-sufficient)
One book that's been on the back of my mind for awhile because I know a decent amount of goat farmers is a book with interviews from all different goat farmers and how and why they ended up doing that... I bet they have some stories to tell... Most of them are old and I want to get it done before they disappear

You have no idea how helpful your post was...
