Lesson #1:
Although most authors are introverted, lonely creatures, we too thrive in good company. We love writing retreats, writing festivals and conferences. We look forward being part of a group and once someone gets us talking, well, we never stop. The time we spend with a kindred soul, helps us live better, write better.
Lesson #2:
Passion and enthusiasm do help. Especially at the beginning when no one seems interested in what you have to say. But unless you have a well-thought backup plan, don’t quit your job just yet. Keep things in perspective. Always know where your next meal is coming from.
Lesson #3:
Live, just live for a while. Go after what you want, choose to do what you like. Their life is punctuated by question marks and exclamation points. There is never a pause line. They see reasons for wonder and satisfaction in everything. They crave novelty more than they crave the last piece of my dinner.
I'm an introvert too. But I constantly try to push myself beyond my confort zone. I'm an entrepreneur and own few business, but often i get frustrated and depressed easily and cant deal with people.
I know exactly how you feel!
I am the poster boy of introverts. Unfortunately I've found that being a 'reclusive hermit' is not conducive to getting ahead in life. I've found the best way to deal with it is to interact with the world, but schedule in a heap of alone time. Seems to work. Now if you'll excuse me, solitude awaits.
Dogs are amazing creatures. Their physiology, intelligence and character are much more unique than in all domesticated animals. It is not surprising that dogs remain the most faithful companions of man in recent years
Totally agree
All breeds of dog have been found to attack livestock, from 3-month-old puppies to 13-year-old poodles.
Authors have been known to attack people too...
