My husband shares your love of the "pond". He writes (beautifully), enjoys his workshop (carpentry), tinkers with his guitar. He loves when people read his stories, a handful of people. I have an obsessive nature and I aim for the "lake." As an incurable workaholic I also know that the more I do, the more I can do... when your graal is writing, these are dangerous waters, anxiety lurks. But it's OK, I do it for myself, first of all, my personal pond.

I love your little puddle of creativity. I'm joking about the puddle part. It's a gorgeous pond!

I think I've always aimed for the lake, if I'm being honest, because I think to me that has equated to being self-sustaining, and being able to write for a living vs. juggle a day job + the pursuit of writing (which is all I've known thus far).

The metaphorical ocean scares the hell out of me haha.
