“You’re Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop to a Coffee Shop: Scalzi on Writing”, by John Scalzi

Pg. 187

The most important thing the move taught me was simply this: There is always another way. What is required is the will to confront change from without and roll with it so it becomes change from within… There is always another way. Remember that when your own challenges and changes show up and try to knock you back on your ass. Maybe they will knock you on your ass, but it’s up to you how long you stay sprawled out.

Thoughts:

Well worth reading. Several funny moments where I actually laughed out loud. Contains useful, practical advice about writing, especially for those who strive to make a real living off of it and have no qualms about doing uninspired work.
