Seth Godin has a great post
about how the people around you
influence you.
I love this bit.
“The crowd has more influence on us
than we have on the crowd.
It’s not an accident that
breakthroughs in music, architecture,
software, athletics,
fashion and cuisine
come in bunches,
often geographic.”
This is why
the number one advice
I give to new writers
is to join a writing organization.
Surround yourself with the people
you want to be.
