That title got my attention. Sorry, it isn’t my
story. Another blogger wrote it.
His story is that he pulled out an old piece of
writing, resold it, and made $10,000. Maybe it was hype, I don’t know. It doesn’t
matter, what matters is that he motivated me.
“I
have some old writing,” I said. "I have a book sitting in my drawer."
No, I have several small ebooks sitting on Amazon Kindle. There's The Frog's Song available as a real live book, published by Regal Publishing, or as a Kindle version. There's My Mother's Letters...and mine, Where Tiger's Belch, A Dog , God, & Me, and Take a Leap--all ebooks. Hey, Ive been busy. No wonder I didn't rake leaves this fall. They are small books, but it's time they pulled their own weight, instead of me hauling them around on my back.
$10,000 sitting in a drawer--that's for me.
What
say you? Are you a writer? I know you are a reader--because you're
here. Good for you.. Steven King says "If you don't have time to read,
you don't have time to write."
I don't have time to do the dishes.

I'm
excited to be back with The Tiger. The time, a few years ago, I was writing it felt
lighter, and I want that again. It's fun here. I'm just talking to a
friend--that's you.
Have you fount the spot where your tiger belches?
He belches exactly on
the spot where you find your calling. (Until you find that spot you are
wandering in the jungle as my lady does in Where The Tiger Belches.)
When you find it, that spot will give meaning to your life.
Then as Ray Bradbury said, "You jump and build your winds on the way down."That's a scary thought.
However,
you do the work, you practice, you persevere until you are strong enough to
declare yourself whatever it is you have decided is it.
I'm getting a Substack site going. It's a little ragged as I try to get the gist of it, but there I will post what's going on.
If
you subscribe, when I post new information it will come in your email
that way you won't have to remember to check it. No charge. It's free.

P.S. I was born in the Chinese Year of the Tiger. I didn't think of it until just now. No wonder I came back.
