Above my desk, I have a post card from my great friend, Kevin Rioux. Dated 22 December 22, 2007, the post card reads:
Tim-
Are you writing your book?
Hm?Scrivere!
I started on a book a while back and told Kevin and others about it. Truth be told, by the time his postcard came I had allowed myself to be distracted by a life’s more mundane offerings – the book was not being written. Maybe the story needed time to grow in my head. I have certainly not stopped thinking about the book, but it’s not being written. So, It’s time to write it now.
In your correspondence with me, whoever you are, I ask you to hold me accountable. Ask me about the book. Eventually my answer will be, “I have sent the manuscript.”
