GreenJello: I kind of do, but I can definitely do that better.

Kyddryn: You are indeed a writer Kyddryn, as well as a story teller (even if those stories are sometimes just a tray of food). I hope I have something worthy to show you.

Angela: I’m still trying to find equilibrium, but I do think I’m getting better at it everyday.

Bri: Thanks for the compliments. I just make it a game. I’ve been hired to write some pretty boring copy, but I just do your best to approach the material with a sense of humor. It’s almost like getting into character. I pretend that I’m really an enthusiast of whatever it is I’m writing. I use exclamation points in places that would make me otherwise cringe. The finished product fits the material and makes me proud of what I’ve done.

Marc: Lucky. : > )

Vered: Indeed.

Laurie: I’ve no intention of leaving the table one minute before I have to.

Matthew: Send me the link and I’ll share it at the foot of the post.

Nithya: Very true. If there was ever a fellow human to aspire to more worthy than Da Vinci, I’ve never read his name.

Angelina: I work on it every single day.

Randi: Oh, we did everything. We had music, art, reading, writing, a little computer time (and these were ancient Texas Instruments first computer ever computers). It was an all day program as well as school, so in the late afternoon we’d watch movies. Most important, they gave us a lot of language, the essential thing all children need, yet few receive in true abundance. Every person I’ve run into since I left that school, who went there as well, has been a high functioning, successful person. It was in a low income neighborhood, but it wasn’t about putting on a show, it was about teaching small children. The fact that there were no grades was awesome.

First, as a teacher, I don’t want to be the cause of some child having to sit there in class “Bored silly and drifting through days without challenge.”

Second, I’m the mother of a boy who sits there “Bored silly and drifting through days without challenge.”

You talked about the private school you attended as being a place where your “brain was given breath.” Would you tell me what types of things that school did that helped you to feel alive? How did you spend your days there? What made the difference for you?

I think being a writer/businessman or even a businessman/writer is pretty great. Make the bridge and you will bust through the myth of the starving writer.
