"Do not put off until tomorrow what can be put off til day-after-tomorrow just as well." Mark Twain
Dear Mr. Twain,
Tomorrow is my 47th birthday. The day after tomorrow, we'll be parting ways. When I turned 30, I got this brainstorm idea for a novel. Excuse me, but I'm in the middle of the American Dream here! Budding a corporate career. Pioneering my way in California. Starting an adorable family. So I had another kid instead. One thing led to another and after 17 years, four houses, several construction projects, a consulting business, boot camp and other fitness pursuits, a kajillion school volunteer hours, and a helluva lot of laughs, I made a deal with the devil (Brian), and signed a contract to produce my novel in seven months. I asked for a year, but he knows me better. I've taken your advice too long. See you in seven months.

Certainly in your case, the Devil you know is better than the Devil you don't yet know. Light out for that territory ahead!
