GSG NaNo Gaiden #6

From Jim Butcher, (h/t Monica Valentinelli - BTW, you should read her blog. She is awesome).

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD WHO CAN KILL YOUR DREAM.

In particular, this is a good reminder for those of us who may have been writing for some time, and are having a difficult time finding our audience. It can be frustrating. Maddening, even. But I’m not giving up. Taking today to rest and recover, to recuperate and regroup.

And tomorrow, I am going to write like crazy. CRAZY, I TELLS YA!

Go write!

Trust30 – #16 – Your Dreams

Here’s the Emerson quote: Abide in the simple and noble regions of thy life, obey thy heart. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
And here’s the prompt: Write down your top three dreams. Now write down what’s holding you back from them.

You know, there’s an old quote that’s attributed to Joseph Campbell. Campbell, if I remember correctly, wound up regretting that he said that. According to wikipedia, because people used that quote as a justification for hedonism, he’s later reported to have grumbled “I should have said ‘follow your blisters.’” So, to realize success – which I will hereby define as being able to provide food, clothing, shelter, + a little extra for some fun, your dreams – your bliss or whatever – needs to coincide with the needs of the marketplace.

Yes, I’m a capitalist. But as Danny Elfman said, “There’s nothing wrong with capitalism.” (YouTube link)
