Thoreau wrote that if you endeavor to live the life you have imagined, you'll meet with success unexpected in common hours. But how do we gain the courage to do it? How do we manage to step out of our safe routine and plunge over the cliff to pursue a dream?
I suppose that answer is different for each of us. Being a writer, I needed to write. This book is the story of my plunge, and writing it is what gave me the courage I needed.
