Inspiration

Snagged this from Whiskey River...
Such an inspiration.


If you want to be a writer, write. If you want to be a painter, then paint. There are no magical barriers and there are no ships that are coming for you. You have to follow your dream as if it were something your life depended on. Just begin and don't ever, ever slow down. Make no compromises and do the best work you are capable of. Throw out the old ideas or use them as levers to discover new ones. Reinvent, waste, invert, twist, bend, and puncture your ideas with new ones. Combine, reverse, and put things where they don't belong. Teach your mind how to misbehave. Then, in the chaos, take the exacto knife to it and make it simple."
- Mark Stephen Meadows
