Rats!!<br /><br />Did I write more on my THE STARS BLEED AT MIDNIGHT?<br /><br />I did the 4 pages I had initially planned, edited them more than usual --<br /><br />AND THEN I SLEPT most of the day!<br /><br />Gypsy, my ghost cat, approved.<br /><br />Donna:<br />To the treasures we now have I guess is one way to live a more serene life. But often it is hard, right?<br /><br />Elephant's Child:<br />Samuel McCord here, I try to take care of Roland, but he is one stubborn fella.<br /><br />My Stetson's off to you, ma'am for caring about him. Much laughter to you always. And may your burdens always be something you can carry with energy to spare.<br /><br />Wendy:<br />That poem of McCord's occurs in THE STARS BLEED AT MIDNIGHT though I have not reached that portion in my writing of it yet.<br /><br />Thanks for caring and writing me as you do. :-)<br /><br />Shelly:<br />You made my morning with your words. Thanks.<br /><br />Teresa:<br />I have volumes of the letters of Hemingway, Faulkner, Twain, and Chandler -- all of them moaned that they spent more time writing letters than writing books -- so you are in great company!Roland D.

We all need the that encouragement from fellow writers.<br />It would be a honor to be able to read a Kindle edition of your story 'The Bear with Two Shadows'. Thank you for the kindness.<br /><br />I think I spend more time writing emails to my friends than I do writing books, so something has to change with how I use my time.<br /><br />Take care and have a good rest of the week. <br /><br />Also, Isa. 54:verses 5 and 6, for women who raise their children without their dad. Brave souls indeed!<br /><br />Teresa in California<br />http://amagicalwhimsy.blogspot.com/A Magical Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473478545205572098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-13447119597481466212014-06-17T10:32:52.323-05:002014-06-17T10:32:52.323-05:00Beautiful, beautiful post!

I'm glad you feel better tonight. <br /><br />Yes, you're right: we have an unwise habit of thinking what we have now is what we will always have.<br /><br />Helena:<br />Thank you for such a nice blessing.
