What We Want to Do Is Tell a Story
Yesterday I met with a friend named DAN who FINISHED HIS BOOK, a five year project. Like most creative efforts most of the time he wasn't doing anything, and then he was. Now he has a book. We met to celebrate,to talk about what happened, and then, what happens next.
Because I am a book doctor what is a book doctor I can't tell you thankfully not a doctor people walk up to me they meet to describe a book they want to write. Some of them do. Many years ago famous editor described his version of MOBY DICK. A whale a boat a man. Only this time his man he even called him Noah went overboard. So many of us try to figure out the story and how we're going to tell it and when we do when we finally do it's hard to believe it's not a miracle.
