Everyone has inspiration, but persistence, a workable routine, is also needed.Zen of Writinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335608209050545751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327348657265652781.post-58484997591221475752007-11-12T04:05:00.000+00:002007-11-12T04:05:00.000+00:00Good post, Jim.

And the reading.Kathy McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899118869240481737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327348657265652781.post-24675945264195476472007-11-10T15:55:00.000+00:002007-11-10T15:55:00.000+00:00Excellent post, Jim.

My first professional publication came at the age of 12, by luck. Which set me up for believing that it would always be that easy. Wrong. <BR/><BR/>And your analogy about weight training is very apt. I'm a exercise instructor and everybody can move, more or less. So why not jump right in? And get injured.Conda Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12972790965426924941noreply@blogger.com
