"Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement." -- C.S. Lewis
If you have time, watch this video. Then go try something beyond your abilities, just for fun, just to experiment, just to crash and burn. My experiment is re-writing a short-story I thought was DONE. Instead, I'm trying it six different ways, and, um, it's getting better.
Happy Writing, Friends! Happy Living, and Happy Learning from failure!
Thanks to the husband for the link and to Mr. Sivers for the video.

this is so true. i never, ever want to get so comfortable that i stop challenging myself. viva la failure! :)
Watching/listening as I type - 6 minutes in. FANTASTIC. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks. Okay, we liked it so much we watched it as a family!
sigh, ok fine. I have a short story I occasionally try to submit, and I have to revise it obviously but I'm so sick of it.
But if you can do it 6 ways I can too.
Oh, wow. I need to share this with my son.
Oh, and with mySELF. Love you!
Hmmm...why didn't I think of writing a blog about Failure?
So my 30 year failure with the ladies is a good thing. Shows I'm learning. Yea!
Sincerely,
Single and Unpublished
This is brilliant. Thanks for posting it!
