I came across this image of Jean-Christophe Lafaille taken on the 1992 expedition to Annapurna. The body language and expressions reminded me of the line by Ronald Spiers in Band of Brothers, "The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're…

Writing seems to be something a lot of people aspire to do, either for themselves or to make a living out of it, and so I often get questions on the subject. I got just such an email today asking how I learnt to write, and I thought it might be interesting…
