How do you know when to give up?
How do you know when to give up? Wheel Questions was a financial failure in 2009. But it was a community success. And I’m not yet out of ideas for making it work. We shall see. How do you know when to give up? When you’ve tried hard enough & smart enough that you […]
Are we there yet?
The Wheel Questions book has 94 pages now, about two thirds text. I’ve done nothing else for 10 days, at about 9 pages a day. Following the anecdotal essay format of Robert Fulghum, the author of All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, I’m weaving in a lot of personal stories but […]
Is reincarnation real?
Is reincarnation real? It’s such a compellingn fantasy that life goes on after death that people really want to believe in it.

This card will hopefully inpsire me to write more of the Wheel Questions book today. Too bad I waited 20 years! I’m 13. Should I stop trying to write a novel and wait 20 yrs? No. Do it now, while you’re young. Study others you look up to & make their standards of excellence […]
Is Santa real?
Yesterday, I wrote the opening chapter to the Wheel Questions book. It needed two rewrites but now it’s looking pretty good! This book thing may just work out! That’s my non-denominational winter solstice gift to myself. Oh, who am I fooling. My Christmas gift to myself. I don’t really celebrate the holiday, but Merry Christmas […]
