For me, desire and opportunity meet every summer, when I have real time to accomplish something and still keep up with friends. That’s such an amazingly wonderful feeling.

Congrats, Robin, on your life!

I’m so glad so many of you are having that same feeling in your lives. I’m just not into suffering anymore. It used to be all fun and dramatic, but I think I’ve outgrown it.

Well-said, Robin.

I, too, feel like I’m in a perfect place right now, and it’s a great feeling.

I have that feeling with my new job over here Actually, I’ve had that feeling in lots of my life, which I’m really grateful for.

I remember meeting a writer when I was about 7 and being completely overwhelmed. A real writer! But I think I was a bit too overwhelmed as it took me till my mid-late teens to figure out authors weren’t a seperate species

“people will actually listen to me when I tell them they can grow up to be writers”

This makes me smile. I don’t think any writer EVER came to one of my schools. I think it’s one of the most important things besides writing your own books that you can do.

I *love* the feeling that I’m where I want to be and doing what I’m supposed to be doing. I’ve had a lot of that this last year, which has felt very lucky. Glad to hear you’re feeling it, too.

“What’s that like when desire and opportunity intersect?”

Well,I’m still working on achieving that but in the meanwhile,it seems to be all about balance. Equal time given to home and work,with no pressure from either side of the coin. That’s really the American Dream if you ask me.
