neglect one or more other areas of your life

26th March 2017 | for Creatives | the successful artist, the creative life, design your life, David James Poissant  |       

"Understand that, from this point forward, in order to be successful in any one area of your life, you will need to neglect one or more other areas of your life. This means that, at all times, you will be either a bad parent, a bad writer, or a bad employee. Get used to being one of these things.  The trick is to make sure you're not being all three of these things all at once."

"Above all, being a successful writer is a good life. You don't have to work at it all the time and you carry your office around in your head. And you are far more aware of the world around you."
