What’s the story?

There aren’t a lot of men talking about fertility. Fewer, I think, who were the problem like me. It should be easy, and yet, the silence persists.

That’s why I’m sharing what amounts to a diary. 100 Words Per Mile was something I put together as an exercise of mindfulness. I never really intended to share it with anyone.

But now, I think I have to.

As a project, 100 Words Per Mile covers about 550 miles and over 60,000 words. Free subscribers will get access to about 180 of those miles, I reckon, and 20,000 words. Paid subscribers get it all.

I hope you’ll follow along.
