The Bunker

The big news around here is that Moulin Rouge is being re-released into the theaters just before Thanksgiving. At least I'll know where my beloved will be for the week or two afterward.   I went to the post office yesterday. The people there took my manuscripts and they took my money and they talked to me just like it was any other day. I told the guy behind the counter that I hoped their bosses were doing a good job keeping them informed about all the stuff going on, and he looked at me sideways and said that yeah, there was training going on. There wasn't much else he could say, I suppose. When I walked away, I felt like I was leaving a bunker. Maybe it was just me being overly sensitive. So pretty much all my short stuff is out on the market now. Finally. While I've got a little tidying to do on two more short stories, I'm basically at that "jump into the deep end" point for going back to the novel. I know Mike Jasper's doing the Novel in a Month club thing for November. I guess I'm joining him in spirit. In the big picture there's really not that much to do, but I'm still getting the steam back up to make it happen. I had wanted to be to this point a few days ago--but this is life, and I'll not complain. Have a great day.  Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
