Well, definitely, you are a Livable Streets–superstar and one of the founders of the movement. That wouldn't have happened if you hadn't written a book. Maybe in the way you explain your life to your descendants, it won't be a big part of it, but people who read your book and got inspired have gone on to do great things in the field.

Also, I keep telling everyone, a book is the best way to create a lasting record of your blog or social media feed or whatever. You write the book, send a copy to Library of Congress, and ta-da! Your ideas will live forever. Books don't have terms of service or privacy policies, or data migrations.

That’s really nice of you to say. Books have been an inspiration to me in my own work also. Especially older and slightly obscure ones. Still it’s hard to discipline yourself to turn away from online crap as much as I should

Keep going! I can’t wait to read what you write! I am in the same place with my proposal and would love to be an accountability partner or whatever.
