Go For It

Chew on this quote from Seth Godin for awhile...
"I think it comes down to one or the other:  How little can I get away with?  vs  How much can I do?"
Not only does this apply to a successful life, but to becoming a successful writer as well. Don't be afraid to tackle a big writing project. Think of it as a challenge. How large can you write in the respect of playing with words in new ways? What kind of writerly boundaries can you stretch? 

That's what will make your writing stand out from the others.

In the words of Seth Godin once again...Go. Make something happen.

I've been applying that quote to life. A friend said in response to someone thinking she was giving too much, (by loving others, not doing STUFF) "I don't want to get to heaven and hear, you didn't do enough."

Michelle, I'm reading Undercurrent and SO enjoying it! :)

Personally I'm hoping to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant."

And glad you're enjoying Undercurrent!
