wants, i am 63......i still get into rodeo arenas, in front of the chutes, and take pictures. my deal has always been to confront what i fear most. i feared rejection of the book and so i dug out the negatives and had a complete turnaround. it's a damned good book and funny as all get out! and the photographs soar!!!

you're such a good writer!! if i could write like you do, i'd be estatic. i have to struggle for each sentence. the writer, Tom Robbins, says that he never leaves a sentence until it's perfect. it's that hard for me, on the book. i have to work and work on one sentence. and you just fly with words......

and what Juliana said is also so true for us. it's okay to want things and to get them. and lately, since i started back on the book, more and more good things are coming my way. (forget that the patient bit me this week) today i found, free, at an antique shop three quaint window frames that are perfect for CHEAP mirrors......i'll lean them against the walls.

i agree with Juliana, visualizing it works. i see myself at a booksigning in Austin and at Texas A&M (possible publisher)and i know it's going to happen. i'm going to dye my hair red too!!!
