This morning I went to Tanner's, a neighborhood coffee place in Culver City. I usually stop there on my way to UCLA for a red eye and a toasted everything bagel, which is served on a square black ceramic plate that looks like it was made by an artisan.
As I was waiting for my drink the barista was chatting with another customer about her recent postings on her fansite. I listened but after a few minutes I was no closer to figuring out why she had fans. But I remained glad that she was able to be up and pulling espresso drinks at eight in the morning.
For several years now I've been trying to have a vibrant writing life, practice law, and travel as much as I can. I ask myself if the small-scale, character-driven things I want to write are important. I also wonder if there is even an audience for the things I want to say. But I still press on.
