Jumpmasters take very good care of their novice clients, and let's say you twisted your ankle, well, okay, you won't die and it will be a pain for a bit, but hey! you went skydiving for cryin' out loud!
If you have something on your heart that consitutes a book, you'll write it, I have no doubt! You are a driven, dynamic woman and there is no reason to miss your opportunity!

Cindy,
It's not so much that I need his permission, because he knows the new Wiz well enough to know I'm going to do exactly what I want to do....
So, it wasn't fair of me to just put it on him not wanting me to do it, but, I'm frail and unsteady and I hurt myself easily, and I'd be really ticked at myself if I broke something or hurt my touchy back.
You see, in my head, I'm still a daredevil tomboy, willing to try anything once, but the reality is, I'm prone to dizziness, breaking parts of me and stuff. I'm a klutz living in a once athletic body. I wouldn't even go parasailing with DH a few years back when I had the chance. So, this isn't just him, though I know he'd worry and try to talk me out of it, it's mostly me and my very real limitations that aren't apparent when looking at me. The cute salesman skydives every weekend and takes people out and he sees the exterior that still has a smidgeon of athlete left.
I think I will try my hand at writing though, I have good ideas sometimes, and I can get very emotionally charged about a topic and put a lot into it. It might be industry writing at first about telecommunications issues and then who knows? I have so many ideas.
