Broken arm

Accepting love is a challenge I never expected. I was hit by a mini van last week who ran a red light while riding my bike. I'm not ok, this is total chaos, and my life is flipped upside down. I can't use my right arm at all. Yes, I do have good news. I have 30 something people rooting for me, homes to stay in, food to eat, and abundance of humanity and love like I didn't think possible. Thanks to my own inner strength and the borrowing of trust from others that this means something for my life, my wing is on its way to recovery.

"Inspirational raptures may happen, but most books are shaped through hard, disciplined work. Creative work, to be sure, because its ingredients come from the sphere of the imaginary. But the manipulation of these ingredients requires much more than mere inclination or talent. It is an intricate process in which the idea slowly takes form, by trial and error, through detours and side roads, which, were it not for the guidance of professional rigor, would lead the author into an inextricable labyrinth of alternatives.

"And so, to the question 'How do you get your ideas?' I am tempted to answer, unromantic though it may sound, 'Hard work.' "
