Yep. I use it regularly. You can find a link to my author page on Facebook in my profile. (Thanks for the opportunity to advertise shamelessly. ) The person below me has trouble with authority.

I can't drive a stick-shift for a normal manual transmission, no, but I did get my Class A CDL once upon a time, which means I can still probably muddle my way through driving a semi. The person below me skipped a lot of classes in high school.

Actually, I do Tai Chi in them and find it quite healing. The person below me likes Broadway musicals.

I also want to travel the entire length of The Silk Road by foot and document the experience. Same Q

It definitely counts. If it's inspiring or motivating, I say anything goes.

Thanks, Drew! I really appreciate it. EDIT: I support the next person's right to individuality.

I'll name two. First, a joking one, which is to eat a poison dart frog and live. And then a much more serious one, which is to learn how to platform dive. Same Question.

I like sharing quotes that inspire me and help motivate me to work on writing and other endeavors, and I thought you all might enjoy the same thing. I went looking for a forum topic on the subject but couldn't find one, so I figured I'd start one. I'm going to share two to start us off. First this iconic one from Ira Glass: “Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” And then my favorite Miyamoto Musashi quote, which I also use for my signature: “Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.” What quotes have inspired you in the past?

I thought of another one that bothers me a lot . . . "You wouldn't understand . . ."

I think I'm too old for either Macaulay Culkin or Jake Brennan to make me their heir. The person below me would participate in public bathing.
