Secret to Life

Sometimes things just seem to be going so smoothly that it sorta scares you. Lisa continues her first pass through my book. She's already had one excellent suggestion, and I'm really looking forward to going through it again. With any luck, the final pass will be pretty quick though. In the meantime, I've spent the last two mornings preparing short story manuscripts for submission (eight ready to head out the door today). And I've plotted out the first three or four elements of a story I intend to write over the next three mornings. An agent I queried about talking with at WorldCon suggested I send a chunk of my manuscript (no big deal I suppose). I'm listening to James Taylor this morning, a man who seems to have come to grips with life. Somehow that seemed important to mention here, but I'm not certain I can adequately explain why. There's something in his voice this morning, though, some quality that seems to fit exactly how I'm feeling about things, though. Confidence. Comfort. Maybe even simple joy in what he's doing. Things are going fine here. My "career" is not where I want it to be yet. Maybe it will never be. I suppose this is true. But I'm working on it. And things will work out. In the meantime, I'm having so much fun at the keyboard that the rest just doesn't seem to matter. ... satisfied sigh ...   Have a great day, folks.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
