I realize this may come as a surprise...

...but I'm not seeking to become famous with my writing.

There are two sides to my personality - the practical and the impractical.

I'm very practical in some ways:

• I like pants with pockets. 
• I like comfortable shoes. 
• I wear a lot of black because it's slimming and easy to accessorize. 
• I like clean stove tops and neat computer desktops (sacred places where magic happens.)

And yet... I can be very impractical, too. (You might say I'm a bit snotty.)

• I like diamonds set in rose gold. 
• I like fine foods and expensive wine. 
• I would eat octopus and caviar every day if I could.
• I will never voluntarily sleep in a tent again.

When it comes to writing, I am very practical.

• I say what I mean.
• I mean what I say.
• I write what I feel. 
• I use very little fluff.

And yet... I am seeking to do more with my writing. 

• I want to help people with my words. 
• I want to earn money with my words.
• I want to write books and blog posts people will devour.
• I want to build a following.

And above all: I want to do it on my own.

Therein lies the problem: I can't do it all on my own. 

Without you reading and sharing: 

• This blog is just a series of unread musings by a nutty blowhard. 
• I make no impact. 
• My words go nowhere. 
• I cannot be successful. 

The practical must be paired with the "fancy," as my best friend would say, to get the job done.  

"No man or woman is an island. To exist just for yourself is meaningless. You can achieve the most satisfaction when you feel related to some greater purpose in life, something greater than yourself." 

- Denis Waitley, Motivational Speaker
