If you are a writer, you’ve probably read David Copperfield by Charles Dickens. There is the character Wilkins Micawber . He believed in “hopeful expectation.”
I wanted to write this with the New Year approaching because I have a feeling of good things for 2011.
As writers, we have to have hopeful expectation. We send our work off to editors and agents with the expectation of the major hit.
So as a writer, be like Micawber.

As to not bore my public with just "Buy my book," I am also interested in baseball, the outdoors, art, architecture, technology, the human mind and DNA. I learned Ashkenazi Jews, of which I am one, have to lowest rate of Alzheimer's in the world. Therefore, I treat my brain as a muscle needing a workout. I enjoy good food, flirtation, beautiful women (I am happily married for thirty years), so just flirting ;) I was considered autistic when I was young, trying to figure out if I have a mild form of Aspergers and learning from that. That is for future posts. You can also see I love history. Enjoy my sarcastic silly look at the world, and making History more interesting than a textbook.
