It sure would nice to be one of those people, for just a few months, wouldn't it? I have a real complex about writing. I delete five things for every one I don't. Not normal, dry business stuff, of course.

I use a pseudonym because I feel like I'm a fraud writing prose, fiction or semi-fictional work. If someone disagrees with the content of something I've written, I can accept that far easier than criticism of how I've written it. That stings.

Oh, I'm confident in other parts of my life. Giving a speech to thousands doesn't faze me because I'm talking about my world - a world I know. But writing? I'm a poacher.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm humbled by it.

Actually, tarmac, I'm done! I want to change a few things, but I'll resist. It'll be published this fall. Time to move on to the next thing. I have a small story percolating in my brain now that I might post here - one chapter every few weeks. This place could use a bi-monthly break from politics and religion. ;)

Its a nice read that shows how everyday events can be looked upon as unique and special. Thanks...I enjoyed it.

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

"Born in the morning and dead by night, that's the way man goes, since the beginning of time, in an endless cycle. And does he know where he came from, or where he will go?"

Whose to say that the graveyard thief wasn't in fact Kondou Isami, accepting what was generously given to him?

Kudos Rolex - great stuff.

My new mantra:

I will shoot my enemies as they try to leave the battle, when their senses are at their weakest.
