Happy Father’s Day!
“He talked about how grateful he was to have work that he was afraid of. And that so many people never get that. They never get work that they’re afraid of. They go to their cubicles and they punch their clock and they make their money and they work for their weekends, and they’re dead inside. But there’s something really special and quite miraculous about having work that you’ve been doing for thirty plus years and still have it scare you because you’re afraid you won’t know how to do it.”
To all you fathers out there who write for a vocation or avocation, who have chosen to turn away from the safe path of cubicles and a regular paycheck in order to chase down the stories in your soul, may you always find work to be afraid of and wisdom to share with your readers… and especially your children.
Happy Father’s Day!
