2015 to 2016 … The production begins to Prosper
And then, as time marched onward (from 2015 into 2016 and beyond), my writings marched ever onward as well. And this, even though I had no apartment of my own. That’s right, even though I ended up surreptitiously “squatting” in the warehouse where I had been offered a job back in 2012 (As a Peace Pilgrim I didn’t allow myself to keep any of the money I earned anyway), I constructed my environment in such a way that I had a peaceful desk (the one pictured) at which to sit every weekday evening and for the entirety of every weekend. And this is where I sat and wrote for almost every single day of the last 4 years of my second Stuttgart stay, eventually compiling and self-publishing over 60 “books” of varying lengths and genres (all of which still easily perusable &/or available for free download to this very day via the Writings page of my website) …
“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you’re all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much, though.” ~ J.D. Salinger
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must be the one to write it.” ~ via Toni Morrison
“One day I will find the right words, and when I do they will be simple.” ~ via Jack Kerouac
