You have boiled the cabbage down and served a great feast of information about what it takes to be a writer.<br /><br />When life gets ruff and tuff, I want to write even more. Sometimes I think of writing as an escape from the harshness of reality, but to be honest about it all, I just plain love it whether life is smooth sailing or stormy.<br /><br />Thanks for the blog, JoeLucindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-27180972129533554652010-01-11T14:30:12.860-06:002010-01-11T14:30:12.860-06:00I am so totally glad I stumbled across this blog. ...I am so totally glad I stumbled across this blog.

It's just that <b>they accomplish something great in field B by quitting something in field A</b>. Fidel Castro quit baseball (to pick a weird example). <br /><br />If you have a choice between being a mediocre A and an average B, or quitting A and being an awesome B, then quit A if you're able. <br /><br />Of course, if you *can* quit writing, then you should.
