What is the biggest risk I’d be willing to take—but I haven’t been able to?
Nothing is coming to mind immediately with this prompt. I think it might be the word “risk,” actually, which can connote things in the negative, but I think they mean the other direction, like, opportunity. Still, nothing is coming to mind, immediately, lol. Like I mentioned a few blog posts ago…I’ve taken the big risks. I moved to LA to “make it” as an actor. I quit my corporate job to write full-time. I married a smoke show knowing full-well she’d always be even sexier than me, and I’m no slouch (a-wink).
So, yeah…what big risks are still to come. Hmmmm. Probably the move to go full-time again with the writing, knowing our mortgage will be on the line with how many books I sell and how much acting work Liz does. That will be a risk when the day comes…but also not really because I won’t do that until my sales are already at a certain level and I’ve gotten so much experience under my belt.
Maybe it’s a good question, but I’m not sure what my big swings are left. I feel like I’m already living my big swing, like I’m finally living a life that isn’t temporary; I want to do this forever, now. But, surely, there are big swings to come. I think it just might take some additional thought.

Back home! Home is the best. Travel is wonderful, spending time with Ashi and Aavy (and Joe and Madhuri) was soooo niiice…but home is still the best. As Josh says: it’s where all my stuff is!
I’m wiped tho. We’ll see how tomorrow goes with the writing. I crank it up from here, though. It’s outlining time!
Night night.
ps – Joy decided that this entire entry should be written on my phone instead of my iPad, because she plopped down into my lap and promptly conked out. She’s wiped, too, from running around so much with Ashi.
