Second Revision

About 5 days ago, I sent in the second revision of Pivot. Of the two readers that are currently reading it, one of them gave an absolutely positive response. A little bit of polishing to be done, he said, but a great second revision. He said we are very close to the next step.

This journey has been great, but difficult. I have enjoyed it immensely and wouldn't have it any other way.

And, again, I reiterate that if you want something, go to it. Don't stop. Don't ever stop. (Don't obsess, but don't ever give up on it).

In the words of Charles Bukowski:

"get a large typewriter
and as the footsteps go up and down
outside your window

hit that thing
hit it hard

make it a heavyweight fight

make it the bull when he first charges in

and remember the old dogs
who fought so well:
Hemingway, Celine, Dostoevsky, Hamsun.

If you think they didn't go crazy
in tiny rooms
just like you're doing now

without women
without food
without hope

then you're not ready."
