  • The Saga of The Office

    I had decided, finally, that I would rent an office in which to pursue “the business of writing.” It’s a way to buy the opportunity to write. Time has been set aside, but a place I can go to pursue it, without distract…

  • Being Prometheus

    "Be a man." The phrase echoes in my mind, like a mantra someone put there (I think it was John). It’s sexist. It means: “be courageous,” “be yourself,” “don’t blame others for what you are”, and such, which is a lesson…

  • Know what you want

    I’d like to be happier with myself than other people are with themselves. I know that’s not a very nice thing to say, and maybe not very evolved or enlightened to be competitive about such a thing, but (despite my recen…

  • I'm Writing Another Book

    I’m encouraged to write another book. Should I be bold enough to say that I am going to do it? Sure. I am going to write another book. That really wasn’t hard to say. And I still don’t have to do it, but I will anyw…

    $2,500 is not going to kill me. In fact it may save my life. Let me explain. See I have worked out the most fortuitous of arrangements, where I am not committed to working any more than 30 hours a week at a job that p…

  • How Was Your Weekend

    I had the best weekend that I have had in a long time. Friday, pizza at a neighbor’s house, my kids slept over there; Saturday afternoon big cookout at my house that turned into a more intimate gathering that went ‘till…

  • The Early Bird

    I “remembered” something about myself. I won’t say “realized” or “discovered” because I think when it comes to ourselves, we know everything, and it’s just a matter, no small matter, of remembering it. So I remembered …

  • Like Steinbeck

    It takes too long for my computer to boot up. I want to open it and start writing when I’m ready. I don’t want to wait. That slows me down and skims off the top of my already tight profit margin. But its up and runni…

  • A long list

    People have told me that they don’t want to retire. They don’t want to sit around with nothing to do, they always want to be doing something. Well, that’s not retirement, that’s death. Who said anything about doing no…
