Dialogue with my muse |
JOE: Good morning Calliope. CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. Happy Birthday. JOE: Thank you for remembering. CALLIOPE: What's it like to be a year older? JOE: I'm happy to still be alive. As time goes by I appreciate each new year much more than I did when I was very young. Once I lived as if I would be here forever. Now I am realizing that I won't be. CALLIOPE: Does that frighten you? JOE: I am starting to come to terms with it. I enjoy life and will miss it I think. CALLIOPE: What plans do you have for the immediate future? JOE: Working on my teen book. CALLIOPE: Did you make any progress yesterday? JOE: I found some good materials on writing for teens and some thoughts on how to approach such a project. CALLIOPE: Anything else you need? JOE: I am still looking for more teen input. It occurred to me this morning that I have many writing and business contacts online. I could contact them to see if they have teens who might be interested in contributing to my project. CALLIOPE: What's the next step? JOE: Being clear about which I should be the one to write it, what I would like to say, how teens can contribute and why they should. That will keep me busy for a while. Talk with you tomorrow. |
