What does not kill me makes me stranger.

Right before I sat back down in front of my PC, I was thinking about how I keep meaning to write a review of Death Valley (1982)

First crossed my mind after the death of Wilford Brimley, & there's a couple of stupid peon deaths I've always wanted to make fun of.....

Have just one of my novels become a runaway financial success.

I'd also like to feel safe in life. I haven't felt that in a long time. To be unguarded, to not worry, to feel liberated by a lack of concerns, I'd love that.

I'd like to lucid dream.

As a young teenager I used to do that all the time, but I seemed to lose the ability around 16 or so. I miss it.

Hmm. Been trying to think of something. Generally speaking, most of the things I want to do, I've already done (although most of them I'd happily do again).

I guess I'll go with have a cruise down the Nile since I figure that is more likely to be able to happen than visit Russia (at the moment and for the past several years, Russian rules require you to say if you've served in your national military when you enter the country, which gets you marked down for special interest).

I want this for you too. Your books are certainly good enough to appeal to the wider public, and you've taken things as far as you can yourself, you just need better representation, like an agent to open bigger venues through larger publishers. The fact you've sold as many books as you have and have as many published titles as you do would work in your favor. When my father began his second career he worked with artists' reps, and the difference in the success rate of artists with agents versus those without was striking.

That doesn't look easy at all. It looks like something your life insurance agent wouldn't want you to do.
