Boron - Chapter 23

I Work Like Crazy!

I just came back from the TV area and there is a guy out
there who lives across the hall from me. At first, I didn't
recognize him. He's a white guy, a body builder, and he has
long flowing shoulder-length hair. He's been down for a long
time and the reason I had a hard time recognizing him is his
hair is now very short and neat. And, I'm telling you, with
his short, neat hair and his no-nonsense glasses, he looks
like Clark Kent. Well, anyway, I heard him explaining to
another inmate that he is getting ready to go before the
parole board and he is going to make sure he doesn't give
them any reason to not turn him loose.

This, my man, is the attitude to have. Always be ready to
catch a break. You know, if you play enough poker, sooner or
later, after thousands of hands, everybody in the game will
more or less have been dealt the same amount of good hands,
bad hands and mediocre hands.

What determines the winners? It's how they play the cards
that were dealt them. Were they alert and ready to exploit
the good ones? Did they perceive that the bad ones were in
fact bad in time enough to dump them without huge losses?
Were they ready to exploit or abandon their mediocre hands
as the different situations dictated?

Sweat the details. It's an area I have been remiss in and I
am working to correct this state of affairs.

You do it too.

Man, am I doing a lot of writing! I've even learned to hold
the pen another way when my hand gets tired from holding it
the regular way~~

Oops! I lost it.

You know what? It's so hot in this room I have to keep a
bandanna (it's the blue one) under my arm to keep from
getting sweat stains on the paper.

And now, we're going to talk about believability.
Believability is one of the top most important ingredients
of good MO & DM promotions. One way to increase
believability is to give exact details. Instead of "most car
owners" write "77.6% of all car owners". Instead of "you can
lose lots of weight" write "and the average reported weight
loss over a 31-day period was 37.5 pounds for men and 26.3
pounds for women".
