Or as a pragmatist once said to me: "writing. you had to choose that!" and I thought, 'choose?" Never worry, I know you well enough to know that your lantern will keep those fingers clicking on your Mac!<br /><br />Heh, Heather, yes, pity the poor Fool! But hooray for him and for you, too. You've been there, so you've been through the self-doubt and are still standing (and writing and publishing!!). Yay!Linda Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18001433214194860481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-41059153771443840442011-06-20T09:24:34.176-07:002011-06-20T09:24:34.176-07:00Trusting our instincts is so important and yet som...Trusting our instincts is so important and yet sometimes so hard to do.

I need to pull in and become that hermit, too. While he walks the night with his lantern, mine may be burning bright beside my Mac. Focus. Determination. <br /><br />"The Fool lets go of his lust for recognition, approval, and material success, and turns his heart to the quest for true greatness through humility and understanding of loss, love, joy, pain, hope. This, in turn, will allow him to write a beautiful novel." I love this. <br /><br />Ever heard of the dark night of the soul? I'm thinking they were talking about writers! And the fool.Karlene Petitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910702587514001827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-72961401415542595842011-06-20T08:17:31.605-07:002011-06-20T08:17:31.605-07:00I can really imagine his walking in the woods with...I can really imagine his walking in the woods with that lantern--spooky!Lydia Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484415427764822386noreply@blogger.com
