Writer's Block: Meant to Be?

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedoms – to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.
-Viktor Frankl

• I believe in a God who has a plan for me, and who can see my ultimate potential far better than I can.
  
• I believe in the principle of free agency - every moment is a choice, and every choice has prices and benefits.
  
• I believe in karma to the extent that what I put out into the universe comes back to me. If I put out positive energy and focus on positive things, that's what I get in exchange, from delightfully surprising sources.
  
• Lastly, I believe that things happen. Good things, bad things, indifferent things. I posted previously about contrasting attitudes in the face of catastrophe; it's the meaning I assign to these things that matters, and there, as in all places, I am free to choose.

Soon, soon, if my diabolical plans bear fruit, the Old Wolf will be reading a series of novels by Lois McMaster Bujold. The first, The Curse of Chalion, has a protagonist yclept the Castillar dy Cazaril, known socially as Caz. Caz is a shining example of how vulnerability leads to surprises.

I recommend the Chalionese books to anyone, without reservation, as some of the most thoughtful, eloquent, piss-your-pants-funny, swashbuckling fantasy ever written.
