Telling stories worth sharing
People have been asking me, "What's it like? What's it like, to be doing what you love?"
I think it's a real surprise to some, that I had the nerve to reduce a perfectly stable situation to something more tenuous, uncertain and lower profit.
I'll tell you what it's like.
It's freeing.
It's something special, allowing yourself to do what you love.
Writing a book seems to me a fairly risky venture. I suppose a musician could blame a faulty instrument for a poor performance. A carpenter could blame his tools. Writers can only blame themselves, for every page is a product of their imagination. If I begin this story, I must finish it, if only to prove to everyone I told about it that I could actually complete what I claim to be capable of. But even if I finish... what if it isn't well-received? What if publishers reject the manuscript, again and again?
