My favorite that I brought away are: "falling out of love with your art and how it can be just a part of the journey to greater success" and (most favorite because it's where I am right now): Find your tribe. I've cast a very wide net for that and spent a lot of money recenlty only to find that I'm looking in all the wrong places. I have a small tribe that I can enlarge right where I am (physcially) and as Cynthia notes in one of her blogs - there's the internet too! (and oh! do I have a tribe there). I'm so excited and can't wait until our interview! Alyson – what a great interview!

Since you mentioned artists going from being full of excuses to being excuse-less, I wanted to share my favorite quote ever, which I read pretty much every time I need to make a big decision: "What we have is based upon moment-to-moment choices of what we do. In each of those moments, we choose. We either take a risk and move toward what we want, or we play it safe and choose comfort. Most of the people, most of the time, choose comfort. In the end, people either have excuses or experiences; reasons or results; buts or brilliance. They either have what they wanted or they have a detailed list of all the rational reasons why not." ~ Anonymous I love your blog tour idea – what a fun way to get the word out about your book!
