RE: Preparing to Write, Perhaps, My Last Book

in The Ink Well11 months ago

Now this is a book I'll make sure to empty my savings on.

Finally, there is this: the clock.

I am one to believe that the clock is wondrous instrument, and like all instruments man hath found way to maneuver it.
Surely tomorrow isn't promised, death creeps like an old coot looking to loot.


Regardless of this fact, I do believe time does wait at times. I really do.
Time waits when the cause is real and true.
Believe it or not, I'm sure time will wait for you too!

Go on dear mentor @agmoore, retell the tale of the Vietnam war.
A tale so great, it'll blow bigger than a bomb drop.
A story so true, it'll make the time stop.



Y'know, at first I didn't intend to make this comment rhyme 😂
I only saw the trend and decided to end it as a rhyme from...

Go on dear mentor..

Hello my young friend, @seki1. I saw this comment days ago and was very moved by it. Can't believe I never responded. I just upvoted it, but then realized that window closed so I left a small tip.

Thank you very, very much. I love the rhyme, unintentional though it be. Every war is made up of individuals. The truth of the war is not written in history books, or told by generals. It is lived by those who fight it, and by those who are in its path. Some of the most affecting writing I have ever read are the first-person accounts of the soldiers who fought in the U.S. Civil War.

My husband's view today is retrospective. But he was a witness, and that 'testimony' has value.

Thank you for your confidence. I hope you are right and the clock waits for us. These last few days it has been ticking rather loudly. But I will remember your words, I do believe time does wait at times. I really do. Time waits when the cause is real and true. Believe it or not, I'm sure time will wait for you too!

I take heart from your optimism and encouragement.
