I’m hosting a discussion
within my writing chapter
on writing short stories in October.
Even if writing chapter buddies
aren’t currently interested in writing short stories,
I suggest they take this free course.
Why?
Because knowing about these opportunities
will give them an alternative path
if their current plans don’t work out.
Richard Wiseman,
author of The Luck Factor,
shares
“We are traditionally taught
to be really focused,
to be really driven,
to try really hard at tasks.
But in the real world,
you’ve got opportunities all around you.
And if you’re driven in one direction,
you’re not going to spot the others.
It’s about getting people
to have various game plans
running in their heads.”
Work on your game plan
but be conscious of other possible plans.
Be open to other ideas.
