The Dangers of the Past.

[gridlore]

I've noticed that I've fallen into one of my ruts.. I'm living in the past to much. "When I was in the Army," "When I was sick," "When I wrote Ground Forces"... I'm using things I have done before as an excuse not to do things now.

That should stop. Things are looking up again. I've got some good ideas for writing (and the line editor is asking me for help on his book!) I've got a lovely wife, a girlfriend, and now another amazing woman flirting with me (what happened? Did I turn 36 and suddenly become a sex god?) I'm relatively healthy for someone who has been what I've been through, so no more excuses!

Get to work, you slacker! Write!

I will cheerfully (and quite snarkily!) claim whatever credit clairaide and I deserve for getting you and kshandra out of your ruts!

Confidence is always sexy.

And you've had that in spades ever since I've known you.

What I think has happended is that you have mellowed.

You are no longer as intense and therefore a bit more approachable.

Putting it another way, you no longer have that "wrapped so tight, he's going to explode any minute" feeling.
