Here is life how I envision it. I am sitting in my office one sunny afternoon with the light comming in through windows that afford a beautiful view of a forested valley. I am working on my latest best seller. My faithful dog Charles lounges at my feet and growls softly every time I make a grammatical error. (He is a magical grammar dog). My son pops his head in to discuss a particular point from his studies of Plato, or Socrates. I of course give him the answer he needs and then get back to work. After a few minutes my daughter starts to play Mozart on the piano in the living room. She is, after all, a very accomplished pianist. The music is soothing and helps me to come up with more ideas for my manuscript. Just then my manager calls "Congratulations," he says, "we just hit the one million mark for pre-orders on your new novel!"
"Wow!"I say, "I have not even written it yet!"
"Well," he replies, "Your fans just love you THAT much!"
Thrilled I go to tell my wife the good news. "That's great!" she says, "We should eat the home made pecan pie that I just made to celebrate!"
Yeah. That's pretty much how things will go on a daily basis. What? I can dream can't I? Can I at least have the pie?
