READ BOOKS After Each Set Back, and More Immediately LISTEN TO INSPIRING SONG

by Bruce Piasecki

I reread a recent Question and Answer interview with me on my Memoir, DOING MORE WITH ONE LIFE, where the editor selected this as the pull quote:

“Read books after each set back, talk with friends as if they are your teamates, and most importantly BE PERSISTENT.”

Friends reading my MEDIUM.COM posts: I guess I get worked up in live interviews. It took me 17 years of writing to let that Autobiography go to the publisher. Yet, now in restrospect, I am very glad I summed that interview up with the essence of my life work and new Memoir. Books. Friends. Teamates, and Persistence.

Forgive me for wanting to share what worked to help me complerte 25 books, of which 22 became commercially published.

Well, below my webmaster of 25 years Frank Weaver, the owner of Aplomb Communications, sent me this the other day by the songwriter and guitarist Prine:

It must be the morning again
The sun through the window felt good on my skin
So, it must be leaving soon as it should

And I saw the bluebird again
She pointed it out in the yard on our fence
So it must be leaving soon as it should

When I’m standing by the water, it’s harder and harder
It’s why I get sad when there’s ships in the harbor
’Cause they must be leaving soon as they should

And I got to see an old friend
We laughed and stayed up ’til it came to an end
’Cause he must be leaving soon as he should

I tend to get lost in the stars
I waste every night wondering where we all are
And how we must be leaving soon as we should

When I’m standing by the water, it’s harder and harder
It’s why I get sad when there’s ships in the harbor
’Cause they must be leaving soon as they should

Takes time to know when you’re wrong
It takes even longer to put it all in a song
And I wish it was easy too like he did

When I’m by peaceful waters, it’s harder and harder
I’d do anything just to talk to my father
But I guess he was leaving soon as we do
And yeah, I guess he was passing through, and I am too

We created this Family Foundation to support those writing anew below 45 in the space of Business and Social needs. You can see that in the webpge at bottom of this page designed for me by Christine Canavan

Go to Frank if you need an affordable friend. Listen to Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan if you need a writer’s daily inspiration.

The devotion to daily writing comes with song, especially protest songs. See my YOUTUBE shows on that from Caffe Lena, where Dylan began. But most importantly READ BOOKS and BE PERSISTENT.
