For the last three years, I’ve had a two beams lighting my path, a motto and a guiding question. Between the two of them, they’ve guided me through a pretty staggering amount of change.
I think of them as my compass. Every year, I reassess to see if I need to change either one, but so far they both still work very well for me.
In the last three years, I’ve sold two novels to a major publisher, become a full-time writer, moved cross country, and earned an MFA. These words helped keep me to set (and more important keep) my goals, direct me on my path, and make choices along the way.
