"Of all the things I've learned about writing, this is the most important: There's a domain of excitement and eagerness and delight that can be astonishing. It is a place of commitment and discovery and wonderment. It is the far side of passion. It is totality of purpose, an inspired obsession. I like to call it stardrive. It's the engine at the center of your personal starship. It's your heart of brightness. It is who you really are. It is simply you—you are the source."
