Learning Something New Each Day
The entry below was to have appeared a long time ago. But the cyber gremlins decided other-wise. So here it is. .. better late than never!
I have learned my new thing for the day. And from wonder writer Roland Smith. When I discovered we were going to be at the Missouri Reading Association Conference in November (his terrific wife, Marie, and new writer friend, Mary Casanova, will also be presenting), I emailed him to say hey.
He emailed back that he was on the road and listed off about nine million places he was going to be between now and November. "Roland," I wrote back, "how on earth do you write when you're on the road that much?" Do you know what he answered?
He gets up at 3 or 4 each morning while he's traveling to write. Three or four. In. The. Morning. I had no idea that such a time of day even existed.
Which might explain why he's getting books written and I'm not. Sigh.
Don't you just hate good examples?
So I have not only learned there are hours before dawn, but that I might actually be able to use them to work while I'm on the road, too.
Why is it all the lessons I need to learn are hard?
