When I do struggle, it's almost always because I haven't been engaged with my non-writing life or done the research needed to be able to sit down and let my hands pour what's in me onto the page. That may also be because I write nonfiction. That may change in the future and I'm curious to see what happens when I take on the job of creating an entire world and characters within it.(less)

“The more certain you are of the answer or the outcome in advance, the more likely it is to have been done already—to be derivative—and the less anyone will care, including you. Anything certain has already been done.”

Jonathan’s Quotes

“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.”
― Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Mary Louise Welcome, my friend. I am really enjoying your book and "favoriting" so many helpful links on my computer and telling others about your book. And talk about terrific timing, your book is a lovely Valentine for those who need help figuring out how and when to make that crucial next career step that will yield more income. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with so many others.
Best,
Mary Louise
