Day 3

Day 3 of migraine. Actually, it hasn’t been so bad this time. Maybe because I’ve kept myself mostly knocked out on drugs? The pain is there, but dull. By tomorrow, I should feel it vanishing. The worst part is that I can’t write while I have a migraine, because I can’t manage the focus that writing requires of me.

What I do know is that my headache wasn’t helped by a thing that happened to Tim. I admit that sometimes, we writers can be a bitter bunch when it comes to other peoples’ successes, but trust me on this, I rejoice in every good thing that happens to Tim. Not just because I love him so much, or because I’ve worked with him for so long, but because I think he’s a good writer. It’s been my privilege to have been there from his first attempts that grew into the published works he has today. It’s been amazing to learn more about writing–the craft and the profession–by the discoveries we make with each other. I want him to have a long, successful career and get the readers he so richly deserves.

And mostly, I wanted other people to enjoy “The Dance,” because they could add their voices to mine when I nag Tim and say, “Please write an entire Andrew and David book, because I MUST KNOW MORE about them.”

It’ll happen. I believe.
