Still here

[ksmith]

Summer has zipped by. I’ve been having work done around the house–deck repaired and stained, dishwasher installed. Thought I’d catch a break for a bit, but the handyman called this evening–he has an opening, so he’ll be by tomorrow to fix one of the walls in the bathroom and repair some tile. So I cleaned out the cabinet that is going to be removed, then vacuumed because doesn’t everyone clean before workmen come to the house?

Oh well. It upsets the day, but it has to get done.

Nothing to report on the reissue of CODE etc as ebooks. Struggling with some short works–I start them, and think, who would want to read this? It’s been done before. The thing is, just about everything has been done before–I could write a one-sentence synopsis and likely be able to think of several already-published stories that fit it. And they would all be different. Because it isn’t the idea, it’s the execution.

If I keep telling myself this, I might come to believe it.

EVerything hasn't been done before...by you. With your unique voice, your unique insights, your unique angle of vision. You have ways that no one else has, of presenting whatever it is, and that means that someone who has never been moved by all the other ways whatever it is was presented may be moved by your way.

It's not just execution...it's the heart and soul you put into it. And you're damned good at it. So there. Send me something.

When I have something more than notes, I definitely will. And thanks.
