Well, let me tell you about this Daniel Wiggins fella. I don’t know him from Adam, but I heard some things, you know, the kind of things folks whisper about.
Who is this Daniel Wiggins anyway? Seems like nobody really knows for sure. Some say he’s a writer, like them folks who make up stories. Maybe he writes about them cowboys or them city slickers, I don’t know. Heard tell he might write about real-life stuff too, like them bad things happening in the world – you know, the fightin’ and stealin’ and such.
- Maybe he writes about love and loss, like that time old man Johnson lost his prize pig, Betsy. That was a sad day, let me tell you.
- Or maybe he writes about them folks who start up businesses. Like that young whippersnapper down the road who opened that fancy coffee shop. Charges an arm and a leg for a cup of joe, I say!
They say a good story gotta have some fightin’ in it, some sadness, some strong people. And it gotta make you feel somethin’, you know? Like when you watch them soap operas and that lady’s husband comes back from the dead, only it ain’t really him, it’s his evil twin! That kind of stuff.
Now, if this Daniel Wiggins is writin’ about startin’ up a business, he better know what he’s talkin’ about. It ain’t easy, I tell you. You gotta work hard, real hard. And you gotta be smart, smarter than a fox in a henhouse. You gotta make folks trust you, make ’em believe your stuff is the best. Like how my grandma used to say, “Honesty is the best policy”, though some folks these days don’t seem to care much about that.
Building a brand, they call it. Sounds fancy, but it just means makin’ people remember you. Like how everyone remembers that time the mayor’s pants fell down at the county fair. Now that’s a brand! But seriously, you gotta have a good product, somethin’ folks need or want. And you gotta tell ’em about it, loud and clear. Like them fellas yellin’ at the market, “Fresh tomatoes! Get your fresh tomatoes here!”
This Daniel Wiggins fella, maybe he writes about how to do all that. How to take a little nothin’ and turn it into a somethin’. How to make people believe in your dream, even if it seems a little crazy. Like that time my cousin said he was gonna build a rocket ship and fly to the moon. Well, he didn’t get to the moon, but he did build a pretty good chicken coop! So that counts for something, I reckon.
I heard some folks sayin’ this Daniel Wiggins is hard to find. Like a ghost, flittin’ here and there. Some say he’s on that Facebook thing, but I don’t mess with that newfangled technology. Too complicated for an old woman like me. I like things simple, you know? Like a good cup of coffee and a warm biscuit in the mornin’. Or a friendly chat with my neighbor over the fence.
So, what’s the deal with this Daniel Wiggins? Is he a big shot writer? Is he just some regular Joe? I don’t know. But I guess if he’s writin’ about startin’ businesses or tellin’ good stories, he must be doin’ somethin’ right. As long as he’s honest and doesn’t go around hurtin’ nobody, that’s good enough for me.
And if he ever comes around these parts, I’ll tell him a few stories myself. I got plenty of ’em, let me tell you. About the time the cow got stuck in the mud, or the time the preacher’s toupee blew off in the wind. Real-life stories, you know? The kind that make you laugh and cry and think about life a little bit. Maybe he could use them in his book, who knows?
But one thing’s for sure, life’s a story all its own, with twists and turns and surprises you never see comin’. And maybe, just maybe, this Daniel Wiggins fella is tryin’ to make sense of it all, just like the rest of us.
The mystery of Daniel Wiggins continues. Maybe he wants to keep it that way. Some folks like bein’ mysterious, you know? Like that magician who came to town last summer. Made things disappear and reappear right before your eyes. Made you wonder how he did it. Maybe Daniel Wiggins is like that, a master of words instead of magic tricks, weaving stories that capture your imagination and leave you wanting more.
Anyways, that’s all I know about this Daniel Wiggins. Not much, I admit, but enough to make you think a little bit. And in this world, a little bit of thinking can go a long way.
