Damn, that last section was good advice for life in general. I tend to chase the dragon of: "once X happens, I'll REALLY start living!" Maybe the secret is let go of the temporal bookends of the present and enjoy the process of life itself.
"The purpose of setting goals is to win the game. The purpose of building systems is to continue playing the game. True long-term thinking is goal-less thinking." - James Clear, Atomic Habits If getting good at something requires months and years of rigorous practice, you better focus on just showing up every day. Happy New Year!
The example about 3D modelers was unexpected but makes total sense. And later, "The future never actually gets here." Where did I put that damn fire emoji??
How about running perpendicular to the roar? That's where is no Lion. Often the best sollution is to find a different path than the rest of the herd. With that said, the lack of [writing] skills can be only sloved head on.
lions go for the weakest pray, they would not want healthy pray running in a herd towards them. Zebra are dangerous, one unfortunate kick and a lioness is dead.
Not only great writing advice, but also great life advice. I understand that you followed the advice to "save the cat".
Lions on both sides!
Such a cheery outlook for 2025 🤣
Glad your cat is okay! Happy New Year, Carl

Scary? Things I’m afraid of? Literary agents
Literary agents can hurt you bad with sharp words like NO
That cat REALLY wanted to knock that mouse off the table the ENTIRE video LMAO.
That's a good rule of thumb in therapy too: look where you don't want to look.
🥂2025🥳
Glad your cat is okay!
