Goodreads asked Margot Morrell:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Margot Morrell Follow your interests.

In the 1980s, a dear friend lent me Brian Tracy's audio program, Psychology of Achievement which I can't recommend highly enough.

The central point to the program is a question - "What one great dream would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?" Every time the tape would come to that point, I would stop and think to myself, Well, that's a really good question unless your dream revolves around an obscure Antarctic explorer.

My dream came true! I just wanted to share Shackleton's amazing story of triumphing over seemingly impossible odds with as many people as possible.
