There's ABA, or American Booksellers Association (also a musical term describing ternary form, American Basketball Association, or Baseball perhaps, and American Bar Association, but although I am a musician, I'm not speaking of the first, and I'm neither a basketball player, baseball player, or lawyer, so that rules out the rest), and there's CBA, or Christian Booksellers Association. It's about publishing, fyi. The question is, which one do I got with?
I've vacillated between the two, and it has to do with philosophy, both of them good and desirable.

I pull out my handy-dandy Nancy Drew notepad that goes everywhere with
me and flip to some notes from my Chicago trip. I pass through the name
of the porta potty company in South Shore Station that would make for a
good title of a new mom book (Oui Oui Enterprises), through notes on
the man snoring beside me in the Metra station and the butterfly that
got trapped in the bench area with me, through a dazzling first line
and brilliant character sketch, and I get to this: why I write.
Sometimes when the words don't come and the rejections do, I remind
myself.
