I’ll Have the Elephant Please

Even if you’re a vegetarian, there’s only one way to eat an Elephant. 

No matter what your project is, or the deadline that’s hanging over your head, you’ve got to chip away at it. 

Michelangelo didn’t hit a stone with a chisel and call it good as the rubble fell away to reveal a masterpiece. 

It doesn’t get easier with practice.  It just doesn’t. 

You strive for more.  You get better, yes.  But because of that you want the challenge. 

It’s why bands you love change their style.  They are creatively hungry, too. 

When you have the money, something else has to drive you. 

If it doesn’t, it isn’t art. 

One word at a time.  One page.  One chapter.  One project. 

That’s how it is.   

Pick up your pen.  Pick up your chisel. 

One way or another, we’re all chewing on the same elephant…or in our case, dragon. Pick up your pen and write.
