Robert Frost's poem, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, has always been my favorite. My first newspaper column was titled "Miles To Go;" I thought it a propos to name my blog in the tradition as well. Because not much has changed since that first column 3 decades ago. I always seem to be quite a long way from my goal.
That is the nature of life though. We meet a goal and we set a new one. We are never quite done, are we? Not until we sleep.
The goal in front of me now is becoming a published author. No. Strike that. That goal has been met. Now the goal is marketing the book. Janie Mitchell, Reliable Cook, will be available next month from Evening Post Books. And right now, the introvert in me looks longingly at those lovely, dark and deep woods, more frightened of the possibility of success than of failure. I can do failure! But I have promises to keep, (and they're written in a contract) and miles to go.
Come with me?
I love it. Can't wait for the book to come out loacally - then nationally next!
