--I’M A BIG BELIEVER IN SECOND CHANCES

 

 

…Yesterday was a good day.  I had three stories and one poem accepted.  Today another story.  That makes 892.

 

…Some days, most days, I feel like the luckiest man on the planet.  If I die tomorrow, it won’t really matter.  I’ve had so much joy (and pain) and incredible experiences and I got to do the thing I love most, which is write fulltime. 

I’m definitely a lucky guy.
