Amazing Things Are Afoot At The Local Starbucks

First thing yesterday morning I had coffee with a teenager that I really identify with. What I see, that she genuinely (and sadly) doesn't see, is that she is overbearingly gifted and talented and sees through everything that's plastic and phony about her world.

Stephen King, in his book "On Writing" says this:

"Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot of difference. They don't have to make speeches. Just believing is enough."

I won't make a speech.

After our coffee today, Bailey, I believe. Just remember that as I look over your shoulder for the next few years, okay?
