My last week of February should be wonderful. It's not that I've found a new lover or that I've recently visited the quiet little rooms found in the salons of Paris, but that I may just meet my meager writing goals. I have thirty pages of my novel left to write and I expect that to be done within three to four days. In addition, my query letter for a non-fiction book and an article have been received well by a few of my peers. Daunting as it seemed, the query letter leads to something bigger-the feature article itself. I've been reviewing leads from magazines to newspapers (though the NY Times is some hybrid of its own) in search for the irresistable lead. The leads at the top are just a few that have struck my fancy. Do these leads entice you to read? Do these articles make you search your own vault of locked secrets? Perhaps you might (or you have) been in a room watching three strangers have sex or maybe (or maybe you have) casually taken an artifact from an important archeological site and sent it to a friend for a little bit of cash or fame? I'll answer yes to one of those questions but I'll leave you wondering which it is that I have done...Some secrets are best left unsaid.
