Thought can be controlled and manipulated, but emotion is willful and unpredictable. - Robert McKee

Write every day, line by line, page by page, hour by hour. Do this despite fear. For above all else, beyond imagination and skill, what the world asks of you is courage, courage to risk rejection, ridicule and failure. As you follow the quest for stories told with meaning and beauty, study thoughtfully but write boldly. Then, like the hero of the fable, your dance will dazzle the world.

As he chooses, he is.

(...)while it's true that the unexamined life is not worth living, it's also true that the unlived life isn't worth examining.
