Sometimes life is just a flip of the coin. Heads for the good things. Tails for the bad. But because of the nature of random chance, even though the opportunities for good luck or bad luck are equal, tails twenty-seven times in a row can happen. Before my book is able to be published, my publisher is on the brink of shutting down. Their own roll of the dice has come up snake-eyes a few too many times. I and the other authors at PDMI are trying to rally around each other and do what we can to help. But the business is, for the moment, on hold. Good things can happen too, though. My novel, Magical Miss Morgan, is still in the running for the Rossetti Award from Chanticleer Book Reviews. That might turn out to be a real good heads up and help me with my publication goals. My blogging is going well. For some reason I seem to be scoring 60+ views on a single day at least one day a week for the last six weeks. I am now averaging 30 views a day instead of the old rate of 20. My blogging is being read by more actual readers than ever before. That’s a good thing, but also the result of dumb luck. There is no formula for success making it happen. I have to keep trying and trust that sometimes things will accidentally happen in my favor. I admit to being a little tired of things that accidentally cause me harm. Do I believe that God has a plan, and things work out the way they should? Of course I do. But I am not vain enough to think that I am important enough to the over-all plan to effect even a single flip of the coin of fate.
