This video is such an inspiration, I just had to share. I've watched it several times now.

And if ever I'm stranded on a desert island, all I want is access to TED. I'm totally addicted to this site!

Traca, Thanks for the link...Really enjoyed it. Gave me a glimpse

into the life of a writer. Forwarded it on to my good friend who is not (yet) published, but clearly gifted.

Glad you liked it. I think she's got some great advice for anyone involved in the

creative process. The story she tells about the poet racing to get to paper before the poem passes through her...I can totally identify with that. The days you're "on" are nothing short of a miracle. And the days you're not...well, I like what Elizabeth says about showing up anyway. Love this video!
