"If you are a dreamer, come in! If you are a wisher, a liar, a hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer; if you're a pretender, come sit by my fire, for we have some flax-golden tales to spin... Come in! Come in!" --Shel Silverstein - - - I am a highly opinionated fifty-something American woman, relatively convinced that in a past life I was Walter Mitty. (Which means that when I am not opining, I make stuff up!) This is my journey... CSA

“What nobody tells people who are beginners… is that all of us who do creative work,
we get into it because we have good taste.
But there is this gap.
For the first couple years we make stuff, and it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good,
it has potential, but it’s not… our taste is why our work disappoints…
We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have.
We all go through this…
It's only by going through a volume of work that we'll close that gap, and our work will be as good
as our ambitions.” -- Ira Glass
