bits

i am being left behind. most of my classmates have at least one book out. most of them are teaching. and me? cue the rolling tumbleweeds!
*
i am placing all my eggs in one basket: my first book. this scares the sh*t out of me.
*
asleep at the wheel. the story of my life.
*
revision, revision.
*
talent isn't enough. not these days. talent is not enough. talent is not enough.
*
i have a new motto.
*
flashforward a year: my first book is out. and then....
*
the eggs in the basket are already starting to crack.
