Twenty Years From Now… 6


Twenty Years mark twain
Not from Mark Twain, but from H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I saw this the other day and it hit me pretty hard because just over twenty years ago, I was starting my path into the writing world with my own newsletter. Then many, many freelance gigs for several publications for the next six years. Then my life took a turn where I focused on other things that I deemed more important.

I sit here today working my way back into a writing career and I don’t want to take a twenty year look back and wish I would have kept going.

My push for great things in 2012 continue.

NOTE: the above quote is NOT from Mark Twain, but from H. Jackson Brown, Jr. (actually his mother said it, he just published it in a book called “P.S. I Love You”) Thanks to my friend Steve Trottier for his work to find the real author of this quote.

    I feel like this is our mantra this year. Vahid and I are planning some big things and hopefully they will come to fruition. It will pretty much cause a 180 in our lives, but I am okay with that.

    I am also excited to read about what the rest of 2012 brings you and your wonderful writing!

      I can’t wait to hear about your’s and Vahid’s plans and projects for this year. This is the year of change for many of us and positive steps forward.

      And of course, I will be sharing my projects and other ventures throughout the year.
