Business

HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS ON THE ROAD TO THE PROMISED LAND:

Taking It, Faking It, and Making It

Because the three of us have been in the business for a long, long time, we´ve seen a lot of careers take off like rockets. We´ve seen others, from writers sometimes even more talented, fizzle before they get off the launch pad. And, unfortunately, we´ve witnessed promising careers explode into bits for various reasons.

What we´re interested in doing is sharing some of our insights from the perspective of what works, what doesn´t, and what to do when you find yourself not going anywhere, or, perhaps, worse, not going where you´d planned.

We want to combine that sort of global perspective we bring to the table with a specific technique that each of us feels helped us survive to write another day.

Sometimes careers are built as much on knowing how to survive as on pure talent and effort.
