I'm sure that most folks would agree that as we get busier, we need to narrow our focus a bit. I'm certain that there are some prolific, high energy folks that can just go 100mph right to the end, but I know I'm not one of them. George Hi Kim,

That’s a very interesting perspective. I’m sure that most folks would agree that as we get busier, we need to narrow our focus a bit. I’m certain that there are some prolific, high energy folks that can just go 100mph right to the end, but I know I’m not one of them.

And if that isn't there for some folks, then that's ok too. Initiative works to drive us towards our goals, it does. It can help to carry you great distances. Cheers George Hi Alisa,

Yuppers – the motivation has to be part of the package. And if that isn’t there for some folks, then that’s ok too.

Initiative works to drive us towards our goals, it does. It can help to carry you great distances.

Cheers

I've written in every genre and medium and on themes across the board. As I get older and time seems to be less plentiful I find myself leaning more and more to material that is closer to my experience and those of my close relatives and friends. I am the person I will get to know best and my experiences and those of people close to me are very unique material and something I now want to concentrate on. I guess I feel stories are meant as a way to get to know people with the veil of fiction as a way to convey the more uncomfortable facts. .-= Kim H Peres´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.screenwrightist.com/teevee-screenwriting-mostly-dialogue" rel="nofollow">TV Writing is Mostly About Dialogue</a> =-.

If you really, really, really wanted to write a novel you would do it. If you felt stuck, you'd read a book or take a course or even go back to school for an MFA. I don't think it's necessarily about skills not crossing over. It's about motivation not crossing over. .-= Alisa Bowman´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/ProjectHappilyEverAfter/~3/ymYwr2acOMI/" rel="nofollow">You Are Not Suffering Alone</a> =-.

I thought I'd play around with the word Guru, and I ended up coming up with a cool nickname :P I hope to go far -- I've always been told the younger you start, the better your chances are at succeeding. I guess this isn't always true, but I do think the statement has some validity. Anyways, keep up the good work with your blog -- I'll be back back :) .-= The Gooroo @ Finance Advisory Stop´s last blog ..<a href="http://financeadvisorystop.com/overcome-loneliness-work-from-home/" rel="nofollow">How To Overcome Loneliness If You Work From Home</a> =-.
