I love that endorphin rush of New Hope…

…right before Brutal Reality crushes it forever.

This is probably why I love writing First Drafts of novels so much. All the Hope. None of the Rejection.

I spend a year or three writing a first draft; I spend a year or two cleaning it up; I spend a few months trying to promote it, give up, and find another novel to write.

Insanity? An addictive personality in action?

P.P. (Post post):

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

1963…when Martin Luther King was marching on DC…the Mormon church still would not admit Black members & did not admit they were fully-human.
