TheBanyanTree: Of Authors, Writing and other things; Warning - lengthy

[Russ Doden]

Good to see you writing again Jim.  It doesn't matter WHAT a person writes,
just THAT a person writes!  For me it is a way of expanding thoughts,
exploring ideas, but most importantly, exploring my own feelings about my
perception of life.  I'm just as guilty as anyone with not posting.  Oh I
post the odd thing now and then, but not like I once did.  My muse went on
sabbatical and is only recently starting to return.  I think that happens
to a lot of us at one time or another.  I'm glad your muse is returning
too!  Sometimes it is too easy to just think "why bother, I'm not really
that good" and then something happens.  I fell into that trap, then the
other day as I was reorganizing files on a "new to me" computer, I stumbled
upon a really good article that I could use for a project for my "Well
Being Consultant" work.  I wanted to find the author so I could get
permission to reprint it.  I skipped over most of the article and went to
the bottom of the article.   Harumph, it had no name at the bottom so I
went back and started to read the whole thing.  About 2/3rds of the way
through I found who the author was.  Gulp.  It was me.  I guess we all need
that reminder that we can write, if we just get out of our own way!  Go for
your project Jim.  It doesn't have to be a "success" on the best seller
list, but just do it - for your own soul!

Russ
