Publication

Alas, the moment of accomplishment is realized, when an aspiring writer finishes his last word of a manuscript, and after feverish editing and rewrites of hastily completed draft, sends it off to publishers. It came for me a week ago after I finished my manuscript for Oyster Bay & Other Short Stories.

It is my first attempt at fiction -- and at best the product of an apprentice. I am learning the craft of composing pure, lucid, and vibrant prose from the masters. That flow and vibrancy and vividness and purity comes over time. One must be infinitely patient; one must let the voice guide you; and for me that voice came much later in life. Belatedly.
