Edward Meinert and some random notes.
. . .I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. . .I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. . .You learn to take life as it comes at you. . .. . .to make each day count.

Finishing touches.
This project has been over one year in the making and seeing it come to conclusion has certainly been a task. Taking the little blurbs, notes, postings and thoughts about characters or scenes, compiling research and turning fiction to reality and somewhere in between has not been easy at all -- much more difficult than I originally anticipated.
Our thoughts do not always follow familiar patterns. Writing is very much like this.
I have talked about this novel for so long and now that it is almost complete, I think about how much it has changed and begin thinking about how much I have changed with it. There is some vanity in writing; will the author in the mirror be the author we see?
One more thing: “The most important thing in any relationship is not what you get but what you give. “ – Eleanor Roosevelt. Our work, novels, friends, hearts – so be it.
