It's great that after 700 years William Wallace has finally had a proper burial. He did so much for the country. You should be proud of what you have achieved through devolution.
It is sort of weird being honored for the worst day of your life.
The funny thing is, about the time I let go of any aspiration toward worldly success, that's about the time I started writing decent work.
If you want to write, then write; if you don't want to write, then don't write. I fell into the former category, and I just made the decision that I'd keep on because I liked it and might someday do something decent.
I realized I was never going to have any peace with myself unless I made an honest stab at trying to write.
I'm a writer, not an editor, and though the editing rarely cut into my writing time, it did take away from that walking-around-thinking-about-it-when-you're-not-thinking-about-it time that I think is important for writers. When you're half-thinking about what you're working on while driving, cooking. . . just letting things sift and settle, come to you.
I quit law in 1988 to start writing, and it took me 17 years from that point to get a book contract. I guess you can say I was on the slow train.
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.
If you're like me, you probably take your cell phone with you everywhere you go. That means that everywhere you go, you can be tracked and located through that cell phone. It's a feature of cell phones that's not often mentioned, but that is being used by law enforcement to catch criminals.
Evil person causes harm even if treated will.
When my beloved arrives, I yawn. When my beloved departs, I weep.
