As soon
As I finally finished my first novel
My agent tells me
To get back to work.
“Keep it going while you have momentum.”
“I do have another novel that I started years ago . . .”
“Great! Finish that.”
“Er, okay.”
“You need a strict schedule and routine.”
“I like the chaos though . . . Creative inspiration is spontaneous most of the time.”
“Hey, I am just trying to help you. If you keep it going, then you might be able to quit your job and write full-time. That’s what you want, don’t you?”
“I think so . . .”
“Put together a collection of poetry and let’s publish that too.”
“. . . Sure.”
“Clint?”
“Yeah?”
“This is all very exciting. I am proud of you.”
“Thanks, I guess.”
“Now get back to work.”
“ . . . Okay.”
