In Mediis Res or In Medias Res; Makes Little Difference

The best place to "start" a short story or a novel is -- in the middle of things.  In most of our experiences that's where life itself is -- in the middle of things. "I was on my way to work....when the accident happened." I was eating when ... I suddenly started choking.  I was living a full and comfortable life ... when I thought about "what it all meant."

As you continue your day, week, month, holiday season, journey, life --- always remember, you are just "in the middle of things." And watch out for that truck!
