I had some realizations over the weekend about measuring success and "breaking out," thanks to SFWA and excellent mentoring from the savvy Laura Anne Gilman. Also thoughts on pride and sanding canales.

Reporting in on the rather amazing effects of staying off the internet for the first 2 hours of the day, and thoughts on our new effort to cut down on screen time in the evenings, too. It's quite remarkable feeling my brain chemistry change.

You can listen to the interview with Tawna here (https://blog.jeffekennedy.com/2020/02/24/first-cup-of-coffee-february-24-2020/). The book I mention, A Lesson in Thorns by Sierra Simone, is here (https://www.thesierrasimone.com/a-lesson-in-thorns).

About pantsing vs. plotting, and why I prefer "'gardening vs. pre-plotting" as a descriptor. Also protecting and nurturing creativity as a fragile thing, and more thoughts on success as a progressive realization of a worthy goal.

I delve deeply today into what "failure" means - and also "success" - and why I feel we shouldn't regard failing with fear or dread. Also deciding when to reveal a secret to the reader, as opposed to when I know it, or when the characters know it. 

The correct quote I paraphrased is: "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal." Earl Nightingale
