A buddy asked me
why I help fund
tree planting.
“Planting trees
won’t stop climate change,”
she said.
And she’s right.
Planting trees, on its own,
WON’T stop climate change.
It won’t offset
the impact of
the big carbon contributors.
But planting trees MIGHT buy us
a bit of time,
perhaps an extra second.
And that second,
MIGHT
make a difference.
Currently, I have a series
that is dying.
Sales are slowly decreasing.
Writing another story in it
won’t stop this death.
What it WILL do
is buy me some time
to think of another series idea.
That new series idea
might capture lingering readers
and attract new readers.
If you haven’t yet found
the next great idea,
consider buying yourself time
to do so
by taking smaller, less innovative steps.
