An Accident of Magical Thinking
In 1989, I made a mistake. I accepted a marriage proposal. In my defense, it was a really good proposal, and those things are hard to turn down. In 1990, I doubled down and married the guy. In my defense, he was a wonderful man; kind, smart, cute and funny, and our mothers had set us up so he was easy to marry. I'm easy going that way. For 4 years, life was effortless. I quit my job to become a writer. He had a great job and a family full of money so I could do what I wanted. Mostly, I watched soaps, made dinner and planned our very nice vacations. I wrote a few lackluster short stories and the first half of a script for a fun romcom. I did some volunteer work. I accomplished very little. I'm undisciplined that way.
