I often feel pretty young, even if the calendar tells me otherwise. Sure, the white hairs in my beard, or the way I feel like a refrigerator is on my back when I squat to tie my shoes SHOULD be a reminder that I ain't so youthful anymore, but I'm so mentally and emotionally immature that I seldom think about it.
Today, I turned on the radio, and a seldom-played Sting song called After the Rain Has Fallen started playing. I grooved to it for a moment before thinking, "Man, it's nice when one of the new Sting songs gets played instead of just the usual old hit--"
But then, I realized that After the Rain Has Fallen came out in 1999. Which was twenty years ago. Heck, I'm gonna put that in bold. Twenty years ago. And I still think of it as a NEW Sting song.
I'm as old as the hills.
Anyway, as far as this daily goal of writing goes, I think I'll focus on publishing a little bit in May. I could put out the last episode of "Tales of eBay Horror"* and see if I couldn't get a short story or two put on Amazon. I could send out lines to my little audio sketch and see if there's a fan who would like to voice the bartender. I could record a couple more pieces for future Outcast episodes too.** I could even go over to Audible to see if there are any books I should audition for (the only reason I mention this is because an author I produced a book for in the past asked me to go audition for a second book, which is a real honor . . . unless you think doing another whole audiobook for free is beneath me). You never know.
I got very little work done today. But I got some more revising of "My Friend," and that's fine.

*Well, the last episode of Season One of TOEH, anyway.
**Any suggestions?
