A calm sea does not make a skilled sailor.

While 2009 has been a less than desirable year in contexts of peace, relaxation, stress and sleep, It is important to remember that being able to make it out alive leaves us much better prepared to sail peacefully through the storm should it happen again

“ To sustain a long-term commitment to creative work, you have to be excited about the work itself. It has to become sacred to you.

This year I grew to see my main occupational identity as a writer, and I learned to structure my workday around everything that process involves. These days there are all kinds of distractions to keep me from writing. Sometimes I successfully resist them and sometimes I give in; the important thing is getting up the next day and going back to it.

Make it up and make it happen.

“Confabulation is how we understand ourselves and the world. Without it, we’d have nothing but a pool of unconnected thoughts. No beliefs about how things should be, no visions of the future, no understanding of how each of our personalities and beings remain consistent from moment to moment. We’re all making things up all the time.”
