Dragging….
Nearly two weeks since I last posted anything, but I’ve been so busy with this and that, that I’ve had to let all sorts of things slide.
I had a thought a few minutes ago, that came after brooding on all sorts of stuff, and I decide to post it.
It’s not original or new, but perhaps it’s a good thought as Christmas approaches, and it’s not directed at any person or anything that’s happened recently, but it comes from thinking about a disaster in my past that shoots pain through me all too often.
And here it is.
It’s a bad idea to pull yourself up by dragging other people down.

It tells me to sign in.
i take that it that it is working.
Thank you.
And it most certainly is a bad idea to do that, but I think, sometimes, people still fall victim to it.
I read, it asked me to sign in, just like it did WondersCafe. :S
This is something I think about a lot as I “capture my ghosts” (write down my life story). I hope to create writing that addresses things that are real, yet provide hope for others who’ve been through similar things. If you ever read my stuff and it leaves you bummed out, drop me a comment or message to that effect, it would be good feedback.
Did you get your Amazon thing worked out?
RYC: Well, “Harry Potter” for one. But also adult stuff like “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell.” I seem to get a lot of long books.

Bad ideas happen.
RYC: Not again!
I tried my best. I couldn’t be of more help. sorry and yes! one thousand curses on Amazon.com!!
Thanks for the comment.
I’ll remember your advice, by the way. I seem to have a penchant for giving into my bad thoughts.
I know OF Eric Zorn, as he writes for the Chicago Tribune. We never crossed paths, though. I doubt he’d give you a problem with your book title. Just e-mail him at ezorn@tribune.com (I think that’s right.) If not I’ll look it up on their Web site. He seems like a reasonable fellow and shouldn’t cause any trouble.

Love the quote… a great message.
I also took a quick peek at your novel. Looks great! When I get time, I’d like to take a better look.
Enjoy your evening…
