Authors need protection
Not once I realized how vulnerable creative minds can be. At night, when the majority of people are sleeping, authors are writing in the dark. If no one offers them a glass of water, they never ask. The same with food. In a short period of time they can become accustomed to such "food free nights."
Some authors prepare in advance. They are surrounded by tiny dishes filled with candy, peanuts, honey, water ...
Often, in middle of the night, they need to take a walk. That's when protection becomes important, everywhere. Authors are continuing with the stories in their minds and they do not see the surroundings or where they walk. They become like robots.
It takes a special person, someone who loves them, who is able to put them in place and help them focus on reality when away from the writer's chair.

My goal? - Quality via Revision
As an author Elysse Poetis, now that our long Canadian Winter is over, every day I find myself revising books, profiles, sites, pictures, etc. From one year to another I see improvement and that makes me happy. I hope that this year everything I wrote/publish will be simplified and improved in quality. I'll make revision part of my permanent routine.
The fact that these improvements are a never ending job, does not upset me in any way. I accept and I adapt, regardless of the changes in technology/science and/or business practices.
Parallel to these ambitions I'll take care of my well being, entertain my family, go see a movie, take a walk, have fun with my husband. After all, quality via revision applies to everything, including our well being.
Everyone ... Enjoy the elegance of life.
