I’ve been trying to do my own thing for almost three years. My path has been filled with missteps, restarts, and shifts in direction. I sometimes wonder if more knowledge could have prevented some of those things. Most of the time, I recognize that where I am now would not be possible without the route I took. It may have been the harder, more circuitous one, but it was the only one I had.

You Can’t Rush a Story
Today’s world hurtles at breakneck speed. I’m almost certain that other people thought the same thing in previous decades and centuries, but today’s world is different. Information is at one’s fingertips. People expect to gather information within seconds, not days.

A month or so ago, I spent some time with one of my friends (You should visit his site. He’s an amazing artist.) from graduate school. He introduced me to his friends as a writer, poet, artist, entrepreneur, and social media guru. I was more than a little embarrassed. I never, ever imagined that I would be introduced in such a fashion.

I’ll be honest. I had no idea that March 8 was International Women’s Day until I was mentioned in a friend’s post. I still didn’t make any plans to write about International Women’s Day until I started to see a flurry of posts in relation to the day. Peer pressure sometimes is a good motivator, and it is one in this case.
