A couple of nights ago, my wife and the kids were down in the city. We stopped off at the Barnes & Noble Booksellers. I’ve been to that place countless times, sitting up in the cafe sipping on a cup of mud, reading this or that. At Barnes & Noble, there are murals (for lack of a better word) up on the wall above the cafe. They are images of writers … writers from the past. I always, always, always, take time to stare at those faces. I am inspired by these folks. I find myself considering this thought: “I wonder what it would be like … to be able to write like these guys.”

perfect mural for a book store and i’ve thought about what it must be like to be in their heads and hearts too –

Just thought of an old, old, movie with Robin Williams, entitled “Dead Poet’s Society” … those latin words, “Carpe’ Diem”

‘Glad you are glad, and I’m glad I’m glad, and … I’m glad that you (a writer who I follow because she rocks) actually comes by and visits my little, quirky, blog. Have a blessed week.

My, my … you are putting good words to one of the more powerful dynamics of good writing: “keep at it … and at it”. In Steven King’s book on writing, there are many things that stand out, including “Writers write …”, talking about the idea that if one wants to be a writer, one must put in the time, consistently. And, I know you are a true writer, my friend. That’s one reason you have a really good blog.
