Greetings My Friends & Followers,
My interview on Friday for the Grunion, Downtown, and Uptown Gazette
went great. My Childhood nervousness never struck, in fact, it was like talking
to a new old friend. I refrained from taking command of the situation as I
would in my teacher/lecturer mode, and comfortably projected my genuine friendliness.
I knew we had specific ground to cover, but it was easy letting her lead the
conversation. There was no threat to be defensive about so I had no use for an
edgy attitude (I say this for my fellow Vampire Freaks out there). My wife was
there being more than willing to fill in any blanks even if there were none by
my estimation – that is her way. We know each other pretty well after 38 years
together. That’s not to say she didn’t add an excellent perspective change or
insight; I’m just saying she added things to the conversation that I thought
were off target such as my daughter’s situation. We’ll see which of her
additions play out into the article, and then, if necessary, I will pull my
digital foot out of my digital mouth.
When watching a movie or having a spare moment, I’ve noticed my
mind is already working on my 4th book in the series with precise
sentences and cleaver ways to weave my ideas into the story. With two books in
line to be edited before it, I can see that the stress of learning internet
social networking is lessening giving my creative mind room to wonder where I
wonder best – creatively. That’s a very good sign! I may even start the 4th
book today before I get hooked back into the track of editing. When I get there,
it’s a daily adventure rereading my books, fixing obvious errors and
obscurities (not all, a little mystery is always good), and improve on my
character and story crafting.
Next, however, is the usual business of life, you know, paying
bills you’re thrilled to have the money for, ordering prescriptions you hope
will remove the chronic pains and keep your health problems in check, and the
other mundane kind of things that repels us safely down the canyons of life. I
hope my next canyon will be lush and fertile, refreshing and stimulating.
Be Well!
