Writing is all about ideas. Mining them, discovering them, generating them, or stumbling upon them. I’m mainly talking about the personal essay, but I don’t think it really matters what kind of writing it is. It’s all communication of one sort or another and requires the same answer to the same problem. What’s the big idea?

I have discovered, however late in life, that the key to fulfillment is recognizing the power of saying no. Anne Lamott writes about getting drunk on the power of no, and finding she had to call people and beg them to take her back after repeatedly telling them no in a fit of ecclesiastical negation. It can be intoxicating and thrilling, but like all power must be wielded responsibly and with care.
