Good story' means something worth telling that the world wants to hear. Finding this is your lonely task...But the love of a good story, of terrific characters and a world driven by your passion, courage, and creative gifts is still not enough. Your goal must be a good story well told. ↗

Witnessing the Vette’s demise, the way Rick felt, there wasn’t a king on Earth who he would bow to. No religious figure whose hand he’d kiss. No icon of history he’d worship. No one whose autograph he’d seek. He was becoming a legend, and he was alive to feel it happen. ↗

Early spring, yes. It's one of those cautiously hopeful days at the beginning of April, after the clocks have made their great leap forward but before the weather or the more suspicious trees have quite had the courage to follow them, and Kate and I are traveling north in a car crammed with food and books and old saucepans and spare pieces of furniture. ↗
