Small-Town Hours

“Small-town living teaches you many things… like checking store hours before you get hungry. Dadgum.”

Living in a small town does take some getting used to.

I’ve been home in Metlakatla for over a year now, and I’ll be honest—I’m still not used to the hours of the gas station, the grocery store, or the mini mart. They close early. Sometimes really early. And every now and then, I’ll find myself standing there thinking, Wait… it’s already closed?

Down south, where I lived for a while, things were different. A lot of businesses stayed open late—many of them until 10 or 11 at night. You could decide at the last minute that you needed milk, snacks, or gas, and it was no big deal. You just went and got it.

Up here? You learn quickly that you have to plan ahead.

Now, am I complaining? I’m trying not to. I really am. I’m doing my best to look at the positive side of things. Being from a small town, I understand the hours. I understand staffing challenges. I understand that things move at a different pace—and that’s not always a bad thing.

Small-town life teaches you patience. It teaches you awareness. It teaches you to slow down and think ahead instead of rushing through life on impulse. In many ways, that’s actually a gift.

But still… dadgum.

Every once in a while, that late-night craving hits. Or you realize you forgot one important thing. And that’s when the adjustment really shows itself. No quick fix. No last-minute run. Just you, your thoughts, and the realization that tomorrow will have to do.

Living in a small town isn’t worse—it’s just different. And like most differences in life, it takes time to settle into. I’m getting there. Slowly. One early-closing door at a time.

Dadgum though.

Becoming a Writer: From Blog to Book

“How Blogging Can Launch Your Writing Journey”

Notes by Alex

Becoming a writer and publishing your first book isn’t some unreachable dream—it’s a very real, achievable goal. And here’s the best part: you don’t have to do it all at once. A blog can serve as your creative testing ground, your accountability partner, and your first audience. It’s where your voice takes shape and where the seeds of a book can begin to grow.

This journey, from concept to creation, unfolds in stages. Each step builds on the last, taking you closer to the moment when you hold your book in your hands.

Step 1: Define Your Purpose and Idea

Every book begins with a “why.” Why do you want to write? Who do you want to reach?

For nonfiction, think about the problem you want to help readers solve. Your blog posts can act as mini-experiments—sharing tips, ideas, or reflections that let you see what resonates.

For fiction, passion is everything. Choose a story you love enough to live with for months (or years). Anchor your characters and plot around a central theme—the heartbeat of your story—that carries it all the way through.

Step 2: Create a Strategic Blog

Think of your blog as both your writer’s portfolio and your workshop.

  • Choose a niche: A focused blog builds trust and attracts the right readers.
  • Pick a platform and name: WordPress, Squarespace, or even Substack work well. Pick a name that’s easy to remember and feels like you.
  • Write in advance: Draft a few posts and an “About Me” page before you launch. Give visitors something to explore right away.
  • Promote consistently: Share your work, connect with readers, and show up regularly. Consistency grows your community.

Step 3: Develop and Outline Your Book

Outlines aren’t about limiting creativity—they’re about giving yourself a roadmap.

  • Structure matters: For nonfiction, create a logical flow that builds chapter by chapter. For fiction, map out your story arc and your characters’ journeys.
  • Use your blog as a testing ground: Write posts that double as book material. Pay attention to what readers respond to—that feedback is golden.

Step 4: Write the First Draft

This is where the real work begins—but also where the magic happens.

  • Set goals: Daily or weekly word counts help the project move forward.
  • Build a routine: Treat writing like an appointment you can’t skip.
  • Silence the inner editor: The first draft is supposed to be messy. Get the words down; polish later.

Step 5: Revise and Edit

A book is truly made in the rewriting.

  • Self-edit first: Tidy up structure, fix pacing, strengthen characters or arguments.
  • Seek feedback: Beta readers and writing groups help you see blind spots.
  • Go professional: A skilled editor sharpens your manuscript to industry standards.

Step 6: Publish and Promote

Now comes the leap—from private project to public book.

  • Choose your path: Traditional publishing means agents and proposals; self-publishing offers more control and faster timelines.
  • Promote through your blog: Share behind-the-scenes posts, teaser chapters, and cover reveals.
  • Engage your readers: Offer freebies, giveaways, or early access to your most loyal subscribers.

Marketing isn’t about shouting—it’s about sharing your story with the people who are already listening.

Final Thoughts

Writing a book is less about talent and more about persistence. When you use a blog as your starting place, you don’t just build an audience—you build momentum. Each post becomes a step closer to the finished manuscript.

Your words matter. Your story matters. And if you commit to the process, one day soon, you’ll get to see your name on the cover of a book.

For me, this process isn’t just theory—it’s real. My own writing journey began with stories from the docks and skies of Southeast Alaska, where I worked around seaplanes as a teenager before eventually flying them myself. Those experiences became the foundation for my first book, a memoir that I’m shaping one post, one reflection at a time.

Blogging gave me the courage to put my words out there and test the waters. Each story I shared—about the rhythms of flight, the wild beauty of Alaska, or the lessons learned in the cockpit—helped me see what resonated with readers. Over time, those small pieces began to connect into a bigger story, one worth turning into a book.

That’s the power of this process: a blog isn’t just practice, it’s preparation. It’s where you discover your voice, gather your readers, and slowly but surely, build the pages of a book that’s uniquely yours.

“Fading Light, Rising Words: How the Wilderness Inspires the Page”

“How the Evening Wilderness Awakens the Writer Within”

It’s late evening now. The kind of late that’s still not quite dark, not in Southeast Alaska. The light recedes slowly here, like a shy guest at the end of a long gathering, lingering near the doorway before slipping out unnoticed. Above the forested slopes and jagged ridgelines of the Prince of Wales-Hyder region, the sky burns with soft fire—rose golds and dusky lavenders blending into a cobalt sea overhead. The sun has dipped, but its memory lingers, casting long blue shadows across the spruce trees, across the tidepools, across me.

This is the hour that often sparks something in me—the quiet ignition of an idea, a phrase, a scene I didn’t know was waiting. It’s as if the land itself is whispering: Are you ready to write now?

And it begins with sound. The world hushes in the absence of engines and voices. A raven croaks from somewhere unseen, its echo bouncing off the cliffs like an old drum. The breeze carries the faintest tremble of the ocean—distant, steady, like breath. And then there’s the intimate rustling of leaves, the kind that almost sounds like a conversation between the trees. The wind moves through alder and cedar, stirring branches like fingers running over old piano keys. Nature, at this hour, becomes composer and orchestra both.

The air—what a strange, wonderful thing it is. Sometimes in July, it holds a ghost of warmth, especially inland. But more often, as night sets in, it breathes cool across your skin, reminding you that summer here is always borrowed time. It smells like salt and sap and earth—like wet moss, like a tide gone out, like rain that hasn’t fallen yet. I close my eyes, and it feels like a sigh against my face, a promise of another morning just beyond the trees.

My boots press into a forest trail damp with dew, the ground soft but solid beneath me. I run a hand across the rough, flaking bark of a cedar tree—the kind of tree that has seen more sunsets than I’ve seen seasons. The moss at its base is thick and bright, spongy like it was made to remember the shape of your step. Stones along the trail are slick and smooth, worn down from years of storms and glacier-fed runoff. Everything out here holds history, even if it doesn’t tell it outright.

And then, there’s this one small thing.

A single wildflower—monkshood, I think—growing from the edge of a rock. Its hooded purple bloom glows like a secret in the fading light. Most would walk by without noticing. But something about it stops me. The way it leans just slightly toward the west, catching the last amber sliver of sunlight. The way it holds its space—fragile, maybe, but not weak. That’s a story, I think. Not the flower itself, maybe. But the way it stands alone, defiant and delicate, in the dying light. The way it refuses to be swallowed by shadow.

This is how inspiration works for me. It starts outside. It starts with watching and waiting and listening. It starts in the fading light.

What about you?

What places stir your thoughts into motion? What time of day helps you find your voice? Do you wait for silence, or do you write amid the noise of life?

Here in Southeast Alaska, in the stillness between the tides, I find mine.

And if you’re ever searching for yours, maybe come stand in the hush of this wilderness. The story might already be waiting for you.

Cherished Saturdays

Every Saturday morning was a special ritual for the family. The air would be filled with the excitement of a new adventure, as one of the boys eagerly awaited their turn for the coveted one-on-one breakfast with Dad. With four energetic boys, a solo breakfast was a rare treat, a chance for uninterrupted conversation and undivided attention.

On one particular Saturday, it was the second oldest’s turn. He was thrilled to pick his favorite café for their morning meal. The café was a cozy little spot, with the smell of freshly brewed coffee mingling with the aroma of pancakes and bacon. The young boy, just seven years old, relished this quality time with his father.

After breakfast, the tradition continued with a visit to K-Mart. The highlight of the trip was always choosing a new Hot Wheel to add to his growing collection. The boy would carefully examine each car, weighing his options before selecting the perfect one.

As they were leaving the café that morning, the boy turned to his father with a mischievous glint in his eye and asked, “Dad, did you notice my socks?”

His father, sensing this was going to be an interesting conversation, replied, “Well, no, son, I didn’t.”

“Do you think anyone noticed my socks?” the boy asked, his curiosity piqued.

“Hmm, I don’t think so,” his father answered, intrigued by where this was heading.

The boy sat there, pondering for a moment, before asking, “Well, then, if you didn’t notice my socks and no one else noticed my socks, why does Mom make me change them all the time?”

His father couldn’t help but laugh at the boy’s innocent logic. It was moments like these that made the routine so precious. He explained with a chuckle, “Well, if you didn’t change your socks, there’s a good chance your feet would smell really bad!”

Both of them burst into laughter, sharing a moment of pure joy and understanding. It was in these simple, everyday moments that the bond between father and son grew stronger.

These Saturdays were not just about breakfast or new toys, but about creating lasting memories, sharing laughs, and cherishing the fleeting moments of childhood. As the years passed, and the boys grew older, these memories became a treasure trove of the past, reminding them to cherish every moment spent together.

Note: I wrote this one with tears streaming down face.

Time Marches On

Embracing the Past, Navigating the Present, and Looking Forward: A Journey Through Time in Metlakatla

In the quiet town of Metlakatla, nestled in the stunning wilderness of southeast Alaska, time seemed to move at a gentler pace. Yet, even here, the unrelenting march of time was evident in every nook and cranny. Olivia, a resident of Metlakatla for over six decades, often reflected on this unstoppable force.

When Olivia was a child, Metlakatla was a tapestry of vibrant fields and bustling markets. The old clock tower, standing tall in the town square, chimed every hour, a constant reminder that moments were fleeting. As a young girl, Olivia marveled at the world around her, unaware that the seasons of her life would turn just as predictably as the Earth orbited the sun.

Decades passed, and the once familiar sights of her youth began to transform. The wooden bridge she used to cross on her way to school was replaced with a sturdy steel structure. The small bakery on Elm Street, where the sweet scent of freshly baked bread once wafted through the air, had become a modern café, its charm altered but not entirely lost. In these changes, Olivia saw a reflection of her own life. She aged, her youthful energy giving way to a more measured grace.

Time had touched Olivia gently, painting her hair with strokes of silver and etching fine lines around her eyes. She felt the evidence of aging in her bones, and saw it in the mirror, yet there was an ageless spirit within her that often took her by surprise. Despite the years that had passed, she frequently found herself feeling like the same inquisitive girl who had once roamed the meadows with wide-eyed wonder.

As she walked through Metlakatla, now accompanied by her grandchildren, Olivia realized that while everything around her had evolved, the essence of those things remained the same. The fields were still green, though perhaps more cultivated, and the markets still bustled, though with different faces. The constants in life had merely taken on new forms, much like herself.

“How do we handle the fact that time marches on, with or without us?” Olivia pondered aloud one day while sitting on a park bench, watching her grandchildren play. She concluded that accepting the passage of time meant embracing change while cherishing the core of what remains timeless. It was about acknowledging the beauty in growth and the value of memories.

In the end, Olivia found peace in the understanding that time’s march was a journey, not just for her but for everything and everyone around her. She carried the past with her, not as a burden but as a treasured companion, helping her navigate the present and look forward to the future, one step at a time.

The Tale of Metlakatla: A Journey to Self-Reliance

Building a Future: Metlakatla’s Path to Independence

In the serene, misty town of Metlakatla, Alaska, where towering evergreens whispered ancient secrets and the ocean tides carried tales from afar, a quiet yet transformative revolution was stirring. The townsfolk had long relied on the Federal Government to meet their needs, a dependency that had seeped into their lives, casting a shadow over the community’s spirit.

One chilly evening, beneath the soft glow of the northern lights, the townspeople gathered in the community hall. Elders, children, fishermen, artisans, and everyone in between came together, united by a shared question: How dependent should we, as a community, be on the Federal Government? The room buzzed with excitement and apprehension as voices rose, each echoing a desire for self-sufficiency and true self-governance.

Mayor Elowen, a wise woman with eyes that gleamed with determination, stood at the front. “Do we want to depend on the government for everything?” she asked, her voice firm yet inviting. “Or do we want to find ways to be self-sufficient and create our own opportunities?”

The question hung in the air, a challenge and a promise. The town had been stuck in a cycle of dependency, and it was time to break free. Elowen’s vision was clear: the road to independence would not be easy. It would require hard work, risk-taking, and constant learning. But the reward would be a community that could stand proudly on its own, resilient and thriving.

“But is it even possible?” someone asked from the back of the room.

“Yes, it is possible,” Elowen replied with unwavering conviction. “Will it be easy? Of course not. It will take dedication and perseverance. And no, you do not need a college education to achieve this. Yes, in some areas, technical knowledge will be essential, but for most of it, it will be about learning by doing.”

Inspired by her words, the community embarked on a journey of transformation. They began by identifying the skills and resources already present in Metlakatla. Fishermen shared their knowledge of sustainable fishing practices, artisans taught traditional crafts, and farmers explored innovative ways to grow crops in the challenging Alaskan climate.

Local entrepreneurs rose to the occasion, starting small businesses that catered to the town’s needs and tapped into the rich cultural heritage of Metlakatla. The town’s youth, eager and passionate, took on leadership roles, infusing the community with fresh ideas and boundless energy.

Workshops and mentorship programs flourished, fostering a spirit of collaboration and mutual support. Elders shared their wisdom, and everyone, regardless of age or background, had a role to play in the community’s growth.

As the months turned into years, Metlakatla began to change. The town was no longer defined by its reliance on the Federal Government. Instead, it became a beacon of self-reliance and ingenuity. The people of Metlakatla had not only learned to meet their own needs but had also built a community that celebrated its unique identity and strengths.

Standing by the shore, watching the waves dance under the northern lights, Mayor Elowen felt a deep sense of pride. Metlakatla had strived, struggled, and succeeded. They had become a truly self-governing community, one that future generations would look up to as a shining example of what could be achieved through hard work, unity, and a shared vision.

And so, the tale of Metlakatla was passed down through the ages, a testament to the power of community and the indomitable human spirit. The town had not just survived; it had thrived, proving that with determination and collective effort, anything was possible.

Metlakatla: A Life of Beauty and Struggle

Finding Community in a Remote Paradise

The ferry’s horn echoed through the harbor, a familiar sound that always stirred a mix of anticipation and dread in Elara. Anticipation for the rare chance to escape the confines of Metlakatla, a tiny island village nestled in the Alaskan archipelago. Dread for the exorbitant ferry fees that would soon drain her already tight budget.

Life in Metlakatla was a constant balancing act. The island offered breathtaking scenery – snow-capped mountains mirroring themselves in the turquoise waters, eagles soaring overhead, the rhythmic crash of waves against the shore. But the beauty came at a price. Groceries were a constant source of frustration. The local store, with its limited shelves and frequent stockouts, felt more like a glorified pantry than a supermarket.

“Barge day” was a community event. Word would spread like wildfire if a shipment was delayed, sending residents into a minor panic. Fresh produce was a luxury, often appearing for a fleeting moment before disappearing again. Elara had learned to plan her meals weeks in advance, relying on canned goods, frozen fish, and the occasional foraged berry.

The allure of Ketchikan, the nearest city, was strong. Walmart and Safeway beckoned with their overflowing aisles of fresh produce, meat, and everyday essentials. But the ferry fees were a significant obstacle. $199 for a round trip with her truck was a hefty sum, a dent in her already meager income.

Despite the challenges, Elara wouldn’t trade her life for anything. The tight-knit community, the stunning natural beauty, the sense of belonging – these things far outweighed the inconveniences. It was a life of simplicity, of relying on your neighbors, of appreciating the small things. It was a life that demanded resilience and resourcefulness, a life that taught you to savor every moment, every fleeting taste of fresh produce, every breathtaking view.

Note: This story focuses on the challenges of cost and limited resources. You can further enhance it by:

  • Incorporating local culture: Mention the strong sense of community, the importance of traditional skills like fishing and hunting, and the unique cultural events that enrich life in Metlakatla.
  • Adding a personal touch: Describe Elara’s relationships with her neighbors, her struggles and triumphs in her daily life, and her deep connection to the island.
  • Highlighting the positives: Emphasize the beauty of the natural world, the sense of peace and tranquility, and the unique opportunities for adventure and exploration.

This short story provides a glimpse into the realities of life in Metlakatla, a place where the challenges are numerous but the rewards are equally profound.

Prologue: For 16 years, Alex had navigated the labyrinth of the private jet charter industry, connecting influential clients with unparalleled travel experiences.

These personal touches were not just details—they were the lifeblood of Alex’s service, turning ordinary flights into extraordinary experiences.

Chapter 4: The Heartbeat of the Sky Working remotely provided Alex with the flexibility to juggle the unpredictability of the industry.

The satisfaction of a job well done, of a client’s seamless journey, was the fuel that kept the fire burning.

Epilogue: As Alex looks back on a career filled with adventure, connection, and endless horizons, there’s a profound sense of accomplishment. The world of private jet charters is one of high stakes and higher rewards, and Alex has navigated it all with grace, ingenuity, and an unwavering dedication to excellence. The sky, after all, has always been the limit.

Rising Hope in Metlakatla: A Story of Change

A Community’s Journey from Struggle to Strength Through Hope and Unity

In the heart of Metlakatla, Alaska, where the land meets the sea, there was a quiet stir. It wasn’t loud or forceful, but something powerful was happening beneath the surface. It was hope, flickering like the first light of dawn on a dark winter morning. People had been talking about the struggles, the flaws, the things that should be better but weren’t. It was easy to focus on the gaps, to point out what was missing, and to grow frustrated at the pace of change. But one by one, a few voices began to rise, not with complaints, but with something more: a question.

Where is your focus?

It wasn’t an accusation. It wasn’t a challenge. It was an invitation. An invitation to shift perspective. To stop looking only at what’s wrong and begin seeing what’s right, even in the smallest ways. And it started with one person, a young woman named Lena.

Lena had grown up in Metlakatla, like so many others, and she had seen the hardships her community faced—economic struggles, isolation, and the scars of history. Yet, somewhere deep in her heart, Lena held onto something precious: hope. It wasn’t the blind hope that things would magically get better, but the kind that fueled action. The hope that came with the belief that if people could look beyond their own frustrations and see each other as partners, they could build something better, something stronger.

One day, while walking by the harbor, Lena saw a group of young people gathered around the old community hall, arguing over a project they had been working on for months. The energy was tense. Words were sharp. It seemed like the weight of disappointment was suffocating any chance of progress. Lena stood there for a moment, watching the scene unfold. She could have joined in, adding her voice to the frustration, but instead, she took a breath and walked over.

“Hey,” she said gently, “what if we focused on what can be done, instead of what hasn’t worked yet?”

The group paused, looking at her. There was an awkward silence, then one of the young men, Kai, spoke up.

“Like what? It feels like we’ve been stuck for so long, nothing changes.”

Lena smiled, “Change starts with us. We can’t wait for someone else to make it happen. But we can start by lifting each other up. By putting in that kind word, by recognizing the hard work everyone’s putting in, even if it doesn’t look perfect.”

The conversation shifted. It wasn’t that they didn’t have challenges to face, but suddenly, they saw those challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities—opportunities to work together, to encourage one another, to make something meaningful. Lena’s simple question had unlocked something in their hearts: what if we were the change?

And so it began. Small acts of kindness rippled out from that day. People began to take notice of the good happening in their community, even when it seemed like the problems were too big. They gathered more often to share ideas, to lend a hand, to listen to each other. Whether it was fixing up the old school, building a new playground for the kids, or organizing community dinners, the focus shifted from what was wrong to what could be done, together.

Even those who were skeptical at first began to feel the pull of something greater. The negativity that once filled conversations began to dwindle, replaced by hope, by possibility, by the strength of community. As the days passed, Metlakatla slowly began to look different—not because everything had changed, but because the people had changed. Their hearts were full, and their hands were busy.

Lena knew that the road ahead would still be tough. There would always be challenges, always things to fix. But now, the focus was on moving forward. Not backward. Not stuck in the past, but rising with purpose. And she had a sense that this wasn’t just about Metlakatla; this was something universal. Communities all over the world could rise, too.

In Metlakatla, people came together, not because they were perfect, but because they chose to be better. They chose hope. They chose action. And together, they began to build something amazing—a community bound not by perfection, but by the willingness to work, to care, and to dream.

And so, Lena’s question echoed through the streets and the hearts of everyone in Metlakatla:

Where is your focus?

In that moment, the community chose. They chose to rise.
