Credibility

I generally believe that everyone is lying. To be less cruel about it, everyone has a version of the truth. Part of that truth is based on fact and part of it is based on fact as was told by someone else, who could indeed be fabricating the truth. The nice thing about writing is that truth and lie can be easily identified. Delivery is, however, a manifest of semantics, vocabulary, punctuation and sentence structure. The coach who tells the interviewer that he intends to take his team to the championship game could very well be telling the truth. Even if it's to watch. So you need to know which questions to ask. Men are less inclined to be credible than women for a simple reason, a woman once told me: Men don't pay attention. I told her that women were more inclined be deceptive. Now one of us was lying.

Health, it's what's for dinner

I hope to get myself up to speed on this blogging thing soon and at that time, I hope to share myself with people who can do me the most good. That would be either a publisher or an agent. In the meantime, I have an idea or two about a story or two that could be interesting for a couple of reasons. One of those ideas is about health. I mean, my own. Where do I intend to be in the next 4 years, 14 years? Next month. My doctor is optimistic. Sadly, at the end, not much gain is noticed. What we leave behind needs to matter. I'm working on that. Once I find a publisher or an agent who knows a publisher. I think I have something worth reading.
