Just Some Thoughts
The Guilty Reader Part 2
Okay, once I posted last week’s blog I could already hear the Greek chorus say:
The Guilty Reader
Last week I came across a blog post by a newer author (newer to me means less than seven years in the business) who likes to list lessons learned from the previous year. This year they posted about giving themselves permission to enjoy reading. That made me pause.
The Ego Trap
I have yet to meet a strong ego. Egos are fragile things. The people I know who have the biggest ones are very fierce in their defense of it. Ego requires it. It needs protection; it takes more than it gives (if it gives anything at all).
Perspective
This post is from five years ago, but the message still holds. Just because something is written or said doesn’t make it true. Just because something is repeated over and over again doesn’t make it important. Just because something seems amazing or astounding doesn’t mean it’s worth your attention. But you already know this.
For the love of chocolate
Valentine’s Day is coming up and always makes me think about chocolate.
