This Is My Chair
My chair at WONDERstudio, 2015.

This Writer’s Creed

This is my chair. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

My chair is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.

My chair, without me, is useless. Without my chair, I am useless.

My chair and I know that what counts is not the words we write, the noise that we make, nor the mistakes we make. We know that it is the time in the chair that counts.

I've written one book, scripted two dozen plays (and directed dozens more,) and spent twenty nights at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. I love to learn. It's what I most love about being a coach.

This is what's happening now. This is very real. This is non-abstract and non-metaphorical. It's difficult and it's happening to me. The audiobook/bookcast/course thing – Ready for the Quest – is done. (Well, "content complete." There's still mixing and mastering.

Please don't let step three interfere with step one.

Often, we measure the success of a creative project by the size of the audience, or the kind of feedback we get, or the money we make from it. But there's so much more at stake.
