I have discovered, however late in life, that the key to fulfillment is recognizing the power of saying no. Anne Lamott writes about getting drunk on the power of no, and finding she had to call people and beg them to take her back after repeatedly telling them no in a fit of ecclesiastical negation. It can be intoxicating and thrilling, but like all power must be wielded responsibly and with care.

GSM Nostalgia. I just had to Google the definition of being a nerd, just in case I don’t use it correctly. Well, nerd is the exact word, and I am definitely one when it comes to mobile phones from around 1998 to the mid 2000's.
I have often considered traveling to far-flung locations for the sole purpose of writing about them, and that’s fine, but I would argue that you don’t need to go anywhere to find compelling subjects to write about. You just need to open your mind and a greater focus on discovering a fresh perspective for your imagination.

My kids used to call me the Lawn Nazi. This was long before we had real Nazis running around again, and the only modern Nazi at the time was of the soup variety. I was the Lawn Nazi because I cared more about the lawn than the rest of the house. If I had my way, there would have been no traffic on it at all. No playing. No laying a blanket down and basking in the sun. No trampling of my meticulously cultured field of assorted grasses. Get off my lawn!

Most of the time we go through life on autopilot, seeing and hearing very little outside of the perpetual inner dialogue most artists endure. We drive to the office or the grocery store, and we couldn’t tell you a single thing we saw, heard, smelled, or tasted along the way. But if we make it a point to remember to put our writer’s hat on and grab a notebook and pencil before we leave the house, we can learn to experience the mundane with fresh eyes.
