Sad News About Second Novella
 |
| Image Updated 1-8-13 |
Well, we're sorry to break this sad, disturbing news to you but earlier this evening Michael (Jonco) discovered that two of the eight chapters that he'd written so far have been permanently deleted from the word processor's floppy disk. No backup disk was made because Michael ran out of floppys years ago and they're almost impossible to find anymore. That's right. Chapters 1 and 6 mysteriously disappeared from the floppy disk files and no other copies exist.
That's 30 pages of writing down the drain. Not 30 regular pages of science fiction but 30 pages of literary fiction that is not easily written. Those two chapters contained fifteen pages each and cannot be rewritten from memory. As this time, Michael Casher is at a loss as to what to do or say. What's worse is that this isn't the first time this has happened. Fifteen pages of Blind Fool Running vanished from the word processor screen one day in 2007 as Michael (Jonco) was just finishing up a very productive writing session. Three years ago he felt good enough, physically, to rewrite those pages from memory. But not anymore. The first chapter of The Truth is a Lone Assassin took Michael six months to write. And now two crucial chapters are lost forever.
Michael's pretty upset and pretty down, right now. That's all we can say for now. Sorry about that. "The Truth Is a Lone Assassin" was slated for publication in December 2012. Now, we're just not sure about that or if and when that novella will be completed.

Climbing the Cosmic Ladder
Being good and doing the right things should be natural behavior for all of us but it usually isn't. For many people, being a good person and a good citizen is considered to be somehow, unimaginably, an affront to their freedom and personal liberty. But that is not what life is about.
Earth is a planet for you to enjoy and a place for you to learn about life during your "first time at bat" as a willed creature. The world is not a playground just for our amusement and pleasure. That is the smaller picture of who and what we are and why we are here. The big picture of our Earthling sojourn is to overcome our natural beginnings and strive for an eternal life that we must earn.
The way to being a good person and a good citizen who does the right things is like climbing a cosmic ladder to eternity. On this ladder there are four rungs for us to climb on our way to becoming a good person and a good citizen who does the right things.
The First Rung
Being good and doing the right things because you are afraid you will be punished if you don't.
The Second Rung
Being good and doing the right things because you want others to do the same for you.
The Third Rung
Being good and doing the right things because you want to be a good person who does the right things.
The Fourth Rung
Being good and doing the right things because you want what is best for others.

Find the good within yourself and in others because that is all the good there is in this world.
