Thursday Thoughts: Universal Baby Steps

πŸ‘»πŸŽƒ HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! πŸ¦‡πŸΊ

I managed to get a newsletter out this past Tuesday. For the first time since actually doing a newsletter for plublic consumption, I got personal. I don’t do that often. One, I figure most folks aren’t that interested and the ones who are have other ways of finding out what happening in my life. I mean, I don’t really discuss religion or politics either. In current times, doing so only pisses off half the people. Besides, I’m just a writer. While I might have the education (government/PoliSci/history major) and I’ve had a crazily diverse career, how I feel about things is just that. It’s how I feel. It’s MY opinion. That’s all. It’s not in my job description to try to sway people because I’m cool or a famous person (which I ain’t! πŸ™„) My job is to write books that entertain people. Which I haven’t done in a while. Written a book. Well, until recently. Anyway, As I’m making this short story way too long, I wrote a letter to my readers in the newsletter explaining what’s been happening over the past 9 months. And it felt weird. Because I don’t get too pesonal. I just write books. Though it’s taken me awhile to get back into writing shape. Which is why today’s missive from the Universe touches home.

People who do all they can, with what they’ve got, from where they are, Silver, no matter how puny their actions, how tiny their steps, or how futile it may seem, simply have more fun… and move more mountains.

Coffee, tea, or a brand-new Bentley?

P.S. You see, Silver, your unending baby steps will be matched by my own, and the next thing you know you’ll be hosting your own YouTube show.

Lots of you who hang closer than most kept saying much the same. “Don’t worry.” “We can wait.” “Do what you can when you can.” So that’s what I did. I did all I could with what I had from where I was. Lots and lots of baby steps and over time, the book evolved and now it’s out there in the wild for people to discover. And no. I have no desire to have my own YouTube show. Or TikTok. I’m just not tht entertaining in person. I do much better living vicariously though my characters. What baby steps are you taking these days?
