Big news on my writing; I made The List; ramblings!!

I got a call at lunch today from the local newspaper. They asked me to send a picture of me and a tag line. They are going to publish a story of mine in the editorial section and put my picture alongside it. This is big news for me. It’s very exciting. I don’t even think it’s my best writing. But it will be what gets my foot in the door. It’s up to me from here. I will keep submitting. I want my very own column at least once a week. Then I can move on to more newspapers and then get syndicated. I am happy. I am scared and nervous. Do they have to put my picture?

I am sure I made that list of the “un”-sexy people. I must be near the top. If you get to know me well you know I am a loyal and trusting friend. But sex appeal is something I just don’t have. I was scared to look down the list because I was sure my name was going to be on it. So I did not bother to do so. I think my former girlfriends nominated me. If you see my name on the list please don’t tell me.

It was 100° in San Antonio yesterday and today! How hot do you think it will get in August? Maybe this will somehow be some of the warmest weather for the summer. I don’t see how that can happen though. We need rain. We need cool. We need some relief from the heat and arid conditions.

It’s time for me to go to bed. I will rest well tonight. I am getting to be a writer. It is a long, slow process, but it’s happening. I have set a goal and I am pushing toward it. My dogs and I will have a good slumber. Then we will wake up in the morning ready to take on the world. Get our of our way. I just hope I don’t have to sweat too much to do so. More later. Enough said.
