Get a Life - The One You Really Want!
If you're wondering how to "get your life together," first remember that everyone has a little room for improvement in their lives. Although it is true that not everyone needs to make a rigorous effort to get everything in their lives under control, most people have a point in their lives when things just seem to completely turn upside-down. This is the time when many people take a look at their lives and decide that something needs to be done.

Do you have any goals? Did you lose sight of them somewhere along the way?
One of the primary complaints of people who feel as though their life needs improving, is that they feel as though they are simply going along, not accomplishing much, and not really making any sort of difference in the world. You undoubtedly had goals at some point in your life...what sort of goals do you have now? If your main goal is to get through the day without screaming at your children or to sit through another boring business meeting without falling asleep, then it may be time to set some more ambitious goals for yourself. After all, if you don't set any goals for yourself, then how will you work towards the things you want to accomplish in life?

Don't avoid your goals because they seem lofty.
People who dream of doing things that not many people get to do for a living - acting, writing, opening their own business, running a large company - often give up their dreams before ever really making an attempt at reaching their goals. Look at it this way; someone has to do these jobs, so why not you? Unless you make a truly determined effort to become what you have always wanted to become, you will never know what could have been. Not all people doing the sort of work you want to do knew that they would eventually be paid for their passions, but most of them put a lot of hard work into getting where they are. Just because someone else may criticize your dreams as impractical, does not mean that your dreams are impossible. Give it a try, see what you might accomplish, and even if you aren't able to attain some of your goals, you will always know that you gave it a shot.

If you start out on a journey in your car, how will you get to where you want to go if you don't have a planned destination in the first place?

Ask Yourself

Are You Satisfied?
Are You Content?
What would make you feel happier with your life?
Are you just sick of your current life?

Don't change your life to mirror someone else's.
Set yourself realistic goals to achieve what you want.
You can't reach a goal if you don't define one.

Picture, if you can, the following plot for a novel: The herione of the novel is a transexual named Nickie Farrell who returns to her Northern Virginia alma mater, Windfield, to teach English as an associate professor. It's the college she attended when she was a male. Nickie is unaware that she has a son in a nearby town from an illicit love affair she had during her male undergraduate days. Windfield College was financed and built by Randall Windfield, the sole surviving heir of wealthy Hendrix Windfield III, who had wanted to set up Randall as the successor to run the family empire. But, upon learning that Randall was a homosexual, his father humiliated him at a big dinner party and would likely have disowned him if it weren't for the fact that he and the other siblings died in a plane crash, leaving Randall as the heir.

The person Nickie had the affair with when she was a male and called Nick is Luanne Skinner, wife of ex-policeman James Robert "Jay-Bo" Skinner, who she had a set of twins, a boy and a girl, by at the time of the affair. She loved Nick, and his tender way of love making and that he had one blue and one brown eye. The boy that resulted from the affair, Colin "Collie" Skinner also has two different colored eyes. He can't stand his father's prejudiced, red-necked opinions, though he, himself, has a doesn't like gays, and found it hard to face hearing about his sister's lesbian love affair when she was in the military and her suicide that happened as a result of the news getting out. As you read, you just know that Nickie and Collie are destined to eventually meet. The only question is when, and how each will react to the other.

Also, there's a suspenseful subplot involving Ambassador Eamon Douglass, who is dying of cancer and who considers himself to be a patriot. He hates the decline he imagines is happening in America, brought about by liberalism, the Jews, the homosexuals, etc., and as a convenient target of his hate and prejudice, he's chosen Windfield College. He hatches the idea to enlist the aid of his old Russian friend, Egor Antonovich, who is an ex-KGB agent, to obtain Cesium 137 and then to sacrifice himself in a suicide bombing at the college.

That's just a brief sketch of the plot. When I read about it prior to reading it, and also read that the author, herself, Iolanthe Woulff, was born a boy and the son of the famous author Herman Woulk, and twenty-five years later underwent gender transition, I thought honestly that the plot was sort of odd and twisted. I thought that despite the author's father being a famous author, also, that there was a good chance the novel would be not that well written and possibly to be crap. On top of these initial feelings, though I have a live and let live attitude about one's sexual preference, I am a heterosexual, and happily married with kids, and I was leery that there might be some graphic sex scenes in the novel and that it'd be some trashy soft-core gay porno novel.

That's me being honest - but, I am glad I read the novel I'm referring to, She's My Dad, and I think it's one of the most literate and well-written books I've read in a long time. Iolanthe Woulff is a remarkable writer who reminds me of a cross between John Irving, at least when I think of his novel The World According to Garp, and Tom Wolfe. The fictional Windfield College is portrayed brilliantly, and the prejudice that some townspeople have towards the college and gays, as personified by colorful and narrow-minded characters like Jay-Bo, Eamon Douglass, and others, is handled deftly.

The title of the novel is not exactly my favorite, but it does reflect Collie's eventual love and acceptance of his father. This is a relatively minor beef, though, as the writing is excellent throughout, and no matter what the subject matter is of a book, that is the most important consideration for me of whether a book is "good" and worth the time spent reading it or not. She's My Dad is a page-turning debut novel, and I hope it gets a wide audience. I'm looking forward to reading more from the talented pen of Iolanthe Woulff in the future.
