Stick to your guns, even if you are wrong. Apologize if necessary, learn from your mistake, and make amends, but never say you are sorry for being what you are. Be maligned, ridiculed, questioned, but live with passion and you will never be ignored. Say it. Mean it. Fuck it. Hate yourself later.
I have seen a steady decline in my written ouput, with a corresponding decrease in visitors and my creative self esteem. I didn't know what it was. Possibly it was due to a number of factors. But I do know that without passion all is naught.
Then, thanks to my friend Tiff, I realized that a workout regimen doesn't work out without a partner. You won't commit to it unless you feel you are letting someone down, or you need to do better than them, or they are kicking your lazy ass off the couch.
Hence, the relaunch of Wordsmiths Unlimited. Go there. Now.
It is scary to expose your spirit, or air your thoughts, or expose something you think. Contentment is sometimes stagnant. Opinion is sometimes blind. To DARE is, I will argue, the only state worth living. Life is not a trivial exercise. Played right, the minutiae of it can be a lesson and an affirmation. It will be good for me. It could be good for you.
Forward and onward, armed with intellect, fear, and a cautious disregard for the unknown.

Wow!! I can sense the passion for this, right HERE.
Welcome back, friend!
Yay! He's BACK!
Dude. Sweet.
Kudos and thanks for bringing it back, and fear not (much). Can't wait to dig in and play s'more.
Always looked forward to your entries, and I like the new look!
I think I just love you for this post. Really. And it has nothing to do with Wordsmiths.
Thanks to you from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.
