Love the Work

There are things I blog about so that I can let others know, and there are things I put in my blog so I can help myself remember.

In my exploration I discovered "Seven Steps to Getting Published" and "How to Make a Living Doing What you Love." The point she makes about loving your work spoke to me most deeply. And this:
