I told him, "Until they tell me to stop."
And therein lies the rub. I am persistent, I am tenacious whenever I get hold of something new that I like. I've done it before. Maybe some of that obsessive/compulsive character flaw oozing out into my Kindle efforts. The point is, with the platform being very easy to master, the results being very easy to evaluate in real-time, and the efforts being so easy to accomplish, why not write forever?
It's a legacy thing. Whatever I do today will have an impact on what I do tomorrow; after I'm gone, the imprint lives on. Often I have been told, "You should write a book" and now I am writing books. Some of those same people now have to be chained and dragged to the well of reading, have to be coerced with free copies, have to be led by the hand to pick up a book. I had it easy. I was reading by the time I was 4 years old and have never stopped. In today's world, it is hard to find many avid readers since most prefer to get their news, movies, and other entertainment from the cable machine. How sad. There are so many worlds out there to explore, so many things that only need to be looked at and marveled at. I usually look at the Astronony Picture Of the Day (APOD) to get myself in the mood to write. And, yes, like the universe, I plan to do it forever.
Spiral Day At Galaxy, Inc. (c) 1991 R. Jones. Like this imaginative galaxy factory that cranks out spirals on Tuesdays, I plan to crank out another novel this year.
