"I’m the One Telling You How It Is"
LATE APRIL. We had 3x normal rain here in NorCal. The green says thank you.
This Week in Rands
We’re in the end game for Book #4, which, weirdly, is already available on Amazon.
There is a mental state late in book writing where you get deeply tired of your own voice and everything you write sounds like stuff you’ve already said.
I am approaching this state. I am not in this state. I am approaching it.
This most recent piece will also land in the new book. I wrote the middle section months ago because that was the part I liked. I wrote neither a beginning nor an ending. As I am seeking new chapters, I knew it was time to add the bookends, but the words… they all sound the same.
Staring at this piece in my favorite coffee shop, knowing I’m at the “a chapter a day” part of the schedule, I remember Chili Palmer and his intense, focused confidence, “I’m The One Telling You How It Is.”
So I wrote it.
