And who knows what I'll write in the future. It will be frosting on the career cake, whatever it is. I have a HUGE archive ... I think it's time to rest on it. Frosting will be fun, I think.<br /><br />I consider myself one of the lucky ones. And I ain't dead yet ha ha.<br /><br />Keep up the good fight. You know what it's about.Charles Deemerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085397516472519927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502471156807193188.post-27494935723244060422013-03-14T17:20:03.804-07:002013-03-14T17:20:03.804-07:00Charles, I'm happy for you.

So when someone comes along who has got something to say and the ability to say it... well, it's always inspiring.<br /><br />You know, I'm lucky because I've got two option sales and the animated cartoon series I'm hoping to find a home for. Then, again, I feel haunted because I've struggled long and hard to publish my brother's story--and what it means to lose the best of best friends to a nightmare like Vietnam.<br /><br />So, a duty... to hold a mirror up to this culture. <br /><br />I know you haven't lost sight of what it means to fight in the trenches and to get the word out. I think it's one of the most admirable things a human being can do.<br /><br />I hope your wife is doing better and best of luck to both of you.Pipnoreply@blogger.com
