There's a bird in the Old World that, when signalled by humans, leads them to honey nearby.
Do you have a honeyguide bird? I do.
What It's Like
People have been asking me, "What's it like? What's it like, to be doing what you love?"
I think it's a real surprise to some, that I had the nerve to reduce a perfectly stable situation to something more tenuous, uncertain and lower profit.
I'll tell you what it's like.
It's freeing.
It's something special, allowing yourself to do what you love.

Taking Risks
Writing a book seems to me a fairly risky venture. I suppose a musician could blame a faulty instrument for a poor performance. A carpenter could blame his tools. Writers can only blame themselves, for every page is a product of their imagination. If I begin this story, I must finish it, if only to prove to everyone I told about it that I could actually complete what I claim to be capable of. But even if I finish... what if it isn't well-received? What if publishers reject the manuscript, again and again?
