I've been feeling quite wonderful today, and I owe it to optimisim for the future. No, I didn't win the lottery or get a raise or even find a $20 on the street. All I did was have a wonderful interview last night with a person who conducts research at the area of Antarctica where my next novel takes place.But there's an implicit contract with an interview, as Margaret Atwood well knows: For every debtor there is an creditor; for every interviewer there is an interviewee who expects his comments to be regarded properly and accurately.
What will come of this interview — and hopefully others — remains to be seen, but I commit to her and to the others I've communicated with about my Antarctic novel that I will work on this story as diligently as possible and give credit where it's due.
Thank you, Jill.
