READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He asks, without answering (i.e, "We just don't know") why males who are "less cooperative" than females, should still dominate.  He speculates that perhaps males ARE more cooperative, inspite of the attributable, traditional stereotypes.

He further says that times are changing MUCH MORE RAPIDLY now than in prior times; 100 years ago, no female voitng in the USA, no same-sex marriage in the USA, no females sitting in political seats in the USA.  Today, we don't blink an eye when these are brought up.  Males say "my husband" like it was always so.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says that I"m at the beginning, and if I knew how hard the road ahead were going to be, I'd quit.  No one tells you that, he says.  (HE is telling me that, however.)

But again, he'd driving home the point that writing is "HARD WORK."

OK, now lets start, he says, with the truth.

I'm suspecting that he'll say something like, "The truth is, writing is hard work."  I get that, and so far, I'm not afraid.  I don't want to quit.  I'm making a conscious decision to move forward, with some sense of foreboding, but with full intent to become a writer.

So, today I will continue editing my "TEE-SHIRT" writing, and hope to hone it down to a better piece of literature.
