Turning the page...

Salut,

sitting in my little lunch corner at home... This is my 66th post on this blog... and I was born in 66... Cool...

***

I got disturbed... now, over an hour and a half have passed since I wrote the first paragraph... I'm now laying on my couch, with a nice fire in the fireplace, a good CD in the sound system, and the laptop on my... lap... There isn't much missing from this picture... But there is still something missing... of course... But at one point, one has to turn the page and move on...

It doesn't mean that I will burn the book that I just turned the page of... I'll buy more wood if needed, but will never burn a book... Anyway, I wasn't done reading this one... But if it won't open itself for me, there isn't much I can do about it... I can't force it open... All I can do is clearly express my strong will to read it, as well as my understanding of the hesitations that are preventing the book from letting go... And hope it will open itself again... for me... just me... one day... maybe...

There are so many other books out there... And I read quite a few of them... But some stories touch us more than others... We sometimes feel a connection that we just can't explain... And sometimes, we just enjoy reading, in the present tense... just because we like to read... Not all books are enlightening... And I do strive for this enlightenment... Nothing less... I thought I had found it... But the book was not ready for me... Or wasn't meant for me... Only time will tell... And while I wait... I'll just keep reading... and writing... :-)

Of course, I'm also working on my own book... and this weekend, I intend to turn an important page... Now out of the metaphor, I plan on completing the re-write of my Novel this weekend... I have nothing else planned anyway (though a friend of mine offered to play some music together tomorrow afternoon, maybe... we'll see)... I had already given myself the goal of completing the re-write for January 5th, so I'll be about two weeks late... not too bad...

So I guess I should stop here... Hit the Publish message button below... Switch windows and get to work... I wish it was as easy to publish my book as it is to publish blog posts... Maybe one day it will... But for now... While I polish my re-write I also have to start the publisher hunt... So I guess I will do some research about that this weekend too... I'll keep you posted...

In the mean time... Don't forget to have fun... And read a book, or open yourself to the ones you love and let them read you... as a book... It's worth it, I told you before... Treat yourself... Spoil the ones you love!!!

BYE
MAD the writer, the book and the reader... :-)
