Well, today I leave Nifty 50 and enter Area 51. In other words, it's my birthday. 51 today. 50 was a big deal. 30 and 40 were big deals. 18 and 21 are big deals. Everything in-between are just birthdays. Another year older. Don't get me wrong - I AM glad to be alive. I hope God gives me another year. I hope & pray I can do better in every way in this new year. That never seems to happen, but at least it's something to shoot for.
Last night, I read more of my story. I added a few things, deleted some, made some corrections. Amazing at this point there's still stuff to fix. It never will be perfect. But, man! SO many mistakes still! I hope I find 'em all before I submit it. I have a little more than 1/2 of the story to read, then that's it. I MAY have a couple people read it first. I've done that already. I just don't want to make any more stinking changes. I've worked on this thing for like 11 years! I want to get it to a publisher, and first to an agent! I want to see that story in print, in book form, and hold it in my hands. I want to see it in bookstores and autograph copies for kids who love to read, and for little old ladies who love the story, etc.
Sigh... some day. Some day.
