I never had a plan, except to write. I love what I do, and have from the beginning. Loving what you do makes it a lot easier to work, every day, to face the tough spots and heel in for the long haul.

If you don't write, you're not read. If you're not read, you don't sell. So that's my Master Plan, I guess. Write the books, let the agent agent, the editor edit, the publisher publish.

Love makes a spot beautiful: who chooses not to dwell in love, has he got wisdom?
You have to pick your places to "step up" and you have you pick your spots. If you're just going to run out there, and, just be whatwho you want to be, then you won't be that long.
Nothing comes cheap, though the educated eye will always spot very nice things for the least money.
