Another week almost over. More chapters edited. I’m close. And just like when I’m writing, I forget–sometimes–the basics when it comes to this part of the publishing process too. Then the Universe arrives and thumps me in the head with a clueX4. Dreaming up characters and creating a story for them, and place where that story takes place is a lot like magic. And as you get into the rhythm of things, it’s a lot like sailing across an ocean.

You don’t take “baby steps” for the distance they cover, Silver, but to put yourself within reach of life’s magic.

Just like you don’t hoist your sails to move the boat, but to put yourself within reach of the wind.

Hoist, baby, hoist, baby, 1, 2, 3, 4 –

P.S. Just like you don’t sing in the car to be heard, Silver… Why do you do that?

Gotta take those baby steps before you can sail away. So…what your favorite song for a session of front seat karaoke? Mine is “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” At the top of my lungs. Whether I’m on key or not because sometimes–just like when you’re writing or doing anything in life–you just have to bust out and let loose!
