Thanks to everyone that gave so many positive messages on the My Space page. With Darla’s encouragement I actually went out and read them.
Here’s to all my fellow gamers, either current or once upon a time, who feel a debt of gratitude to Gary Gygax. Here, too, a thank you to all of you who just wanted to send a note of encouragement to me. Your notes let me know I wasn’t clear enough in the last blog.
I never have doubts that the writing is what I was meant to do. I took just enough pre-med to know that medicine was not for me. The more real police I interview, the more I know I couldn’t do it for real. Or rather, I don’t want to have a job where life and death really hang on the line. I love that I can always rewrite tomorrow. I’ve written death scenes and undone them the next day. I like that about my job, and wish, only, that it could work the same in real life. As for being a politician or diplomat and help bring peace to the world, well, I just don’t think I’m temperamentally suited to diplomatic work. I can be diplomatic when I must, but it’s not my natural bent. That’s putting it mildly.
I am where I am supposed to be, doing what I was meant to do. There are simply days when I hear old voices telling me that what I do isn’t exactly a serious job. Thanks for letting me know how much my writing has meant to all of you. Maybe this positive experience will help me look on the My Space page more often, and the forum, too. I’ve got to stop being such a big baby about the tech someday.
I did figure out how to use a thumb drive so I could download files to print from other parts of the house this week. I had no choice, my techies were either sick or trapped home by nine inches of snow. But I did it, I managed to print my pages all week. Brownie point for me.
