Today at work I talked to an Elder Smith,
since we were installing IE7 and his computer was slow
it was taking longer than usual.
And he was and old fellow...
you know how those calls can go..
"Where can I find the programs?"
"What does this mean?"
"Address bar?"
Anyway he was really nice.
He won me over when he said how good my English is.
I'm a sucker for those comments.
He asked me why I was in the US.
Asked if I had married someone here?
I scoffed.
Married?
Not in this life, pal.
Anyhoo...
He asked me what my major was and what I wanted to do.
I told him I wanted to be a writer.
That's my dream.
Fans. Fame. Money.
I need to start working on Bassville again.
So he said his son's a writer.
His name is Obert Skye.
Well that's his pen name.
His real name is Robert Smith.
And he told me he wrote Leven Thumps.
This guy had no college education.
He had talent.
Wrote tons of books and has a movie coming out.
Talk about success.
I want that.
More than anything in the world right now.
A book!
A movie!
It's a fantasy...
I'll have to check it out.
