Good morning, God, and thanks for this new day in my life! I hope to make something valuable of it, and I'm glad that I have new opportunities to walk, to run, to see, to hear--to do so many things that make life a beautiful experience. I really do appreciate the chances I have that other people may not have.
It's summer break now, the first real break that I've had in several years. I spent the first week of it rewriting a book of mine, and I hope to spend the rest of it working on other books. It's nice to allow my mind to shift from the constant stress of teaching to a more self-imposed stress of writing. It's a different way of thinking, and a different experience altogether. I hope to write well this summer--that's my most important goal.
And I would like to ask for your help in that. My prose is dry, though my mind sees and comprehends so many things that the prose should be dry at all. Why do I choose words that don't come alive when I'm writing? Where is the disconnect between what I see and what I feel and the words that come out when I'm trying to put those things into words?
All writing that I do this summer, I hereby put into your hands. Help me to make the books I'll be working on works that are truly special, please. I'll very much appreciate any help that you can give me!
Ciao for now!
