Half
If I received a million dollars, I would really only have a half of it, because my wife would expect equal split. Then I would give my half to her. Continue reading

Publish
If I knew for sure that approaching regular publishers would lead to a publishing contract, I would probably go ahead. The fear of rejection is not exclusive to me, but I’ve stayed away from publishers because of it. I have this idea they would not only reject my work, but be cruel and expose me… Continue reading

Obtainable
When I was a young man, the most important achievement that I desired was to find the perfect career, that is, my perfect career. I was convinced that choosing wrong meant a life of misery. I heard many stories of people being in jobs they hated, but had to do them to survive. I didn’t… Continue reading

Transportation
I like art that transports me to another place or state of mind. When I go to the Art Institute of Chicago, I always make sure I see the Monet Haystacks. It brings me a sense of peace. I love the color. My favorite writer is C.S. Lewis because he makes sense of complicated things.… Continue reading

We do have a few critters that come out… Continue reading

Odd Man
The daily prompt suggests I mention a time when I felt out of place. My first reaction was always. I always feel like the odd man out. I grew up in a dysfunctional family, so that’s part of it. I’ve become intensely shy, that’s another part. If I had to pick one thing, social situations… Continue reading

Just Fine Before 1990
The computer age is not that old. In the science fiction world it may have been around longer, but what is common now, has not been that long. I went through all of my formal education without a personal computer. I remember my college friends going to the computer lab at three in the morning… Continue reading

Selling
I’ve know for a long time, and many people have told me, that I under promote myself. If I could add a skill, it would be to market myself better. A big part in the challenge of promotion is not raw skills, but will, believing in myself. Self-confidence is a daily struggle. Also, old ideas… Continue reading
