The publishing industry is crazy. Figure it out here.
Fate, destiny, chance?
I've been at a crossroad for sometime now. And the thought of whether fate, destiny and chance pops into my mind every now and then. I'm curious what your thoughts are. How much do you leave to destiny, if any? Does chance have anything to do with it? It can't just be luck or at least I hope not because I'm not the luckiest person out there. Or in the end will fate run it course and lead you to where your supposed to be. What does that even mean?

I think destiny is self-appointed. Fate is like believing in soul mates or love at first sight or things like that, you know? But chance, I think, is the most concrete of these three.
I agree with you that fate runs its course, but I think you will lead yourself to where you're supposed to go.
But I leave nothing to destiny.
I control my own fate. If I fail or succeed, it will be because of what I've done. I think that's a very comforting notion. All I really have to do is live up to my priorities and promises--or at least try.
And chance, well, I guess you could "play the odds" =]
Minimize the chance of you failure or "losing" or whatever you want to call it.
That's just what I believe though and I think that the best philosophy is the one you truly believe in.

Um, I didn't give too many people presents this year.
But I'll give you guys one.
You don't have to like it though. It's like when I gave my grandma
cashews. She's allergic.
So here's my favorite chapter to write in a very short book
I call "Emma."…
Thanks for the comment, I like tackling heavy subjects. But this one is from personal experience.
Matthew is her crush, I could say. Or her savior. I think I'll put up more. It's not meant to be really long. Just ten short chapters is enough to tell…
This is a pretty heavy topic. The last paragraph definitely has a lot of shocking reveals. What role did Matthew play? There's room for expanding should you choose to revisit this work again.
Congrats on finishing this project.
