...she (the Artist, The Writer)

When We Turn Pro We Stop Running From Our Fears. We Turn Around And Face Them.

Go Tell The Spartans, Stranger Passing By, That Here Obedient To Their Laws We Lie.

The Professional Does Not Permit Himself To Become Hidebound Within One Incarnation, However Comfortable Or Successful. Like A Transmigrating Soul, He Shucks His Outworn Body And Dons A New One. He Continues His Journey.

When A Novelist Or Screenwriter Is Looking For A Subject, The Element He's Seeking Is Conflict. Conflict Makes Drama. Conflict Produces Great Characters And Memorable Scenes. So War Is A Natural Topic.

Resistance Is Not A Peripheral Opponent. Resistance Arises From Within. It Is Self-generated And Self-perpetuated. Resistance Is The Enemy Within.
