book?

For some reason the word "book?" when said with a question mark, "book?" Always reminds me of the movie, "Witness." Harrison Ford played John Book and all the Amish folk said, "Book?" when they talked to him, as I remember, I haven't seen the movie in at least 10 years.

Anyway, book?




















I'm working on order of stories, editing those stories, and telling myself, "hmm, maybe this could be something...maybe."

I always thought it was so, I don't know, strange to hear people tell me that they were writing a book. I was all "really? you think you can do that?" not out loud, just in my brain. I think I must've always considered that writing books was something that people who had previously been appointed "authors" in some special ceremony where the librarian takes a sword and taps each shoulder and says, "write a book" do.

Then, one day, I got a nice email that made me think this whole writing thing is more (more) and different than I had previously thought.

so there's that.

I actually don't really like that song, but I do like Frank Black, so....
