DEEPER DOOFUS

EVERYDAY WRITING LIFE JOURNAL

You can’t do everything at once, but you can do one thing at once and build from there.

Whatever can be listed scheduled and measured can be tweaked, listed, scheduled, and measured again for comparison.

How I Became A Big-Time Writer

ILLUMINATION

I’ve got to be honest with you. It was pretty simple.

My high school English teachers didn’t think I would ever amount to much.

My dad thought I was trying to be a big shot.

And worst of all….

I didn’t write my stories.

No, I didn’t plagiarize them, they wrote themselves.

It was the perfect storm, so when I did achieve some success, of course, everybody was right, and the Big-Time Writer was born.

Thanks!

Nothing if not professional. Here I am on Saturday afternoon at my home on Lookout Mountain, after a rough day of hill jumping on my dirt bike. Note helmet-hair.
