©Bert Gildart: It&#8217;s rough having to travel through some of the beautiful segments of North America and then return to the tedium of everyday life in Montana.

With magazine stories, I always put them aside for several days and then return to reread them with a fresh eye. Invariably I discover ways to say things better.
