The writing life requires courage, patience, persistence, empathy, openness, and the ability to deal with rejection. It requires the willingness to be alone with oneself. To be gentle with oneself. To look at the world without blinders on. To observe and withstand what one sees. To be disciplined, and at the same time, take risks. To be willing to fail - not just once, but again and again, over the course of a lifetime. ✨ Dani Shapiro (2013). Still Writing: The Perils and Pleasures of a Creative Life, p.10, Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
