Human beings are interesting creatures. I'm fascinated by them. That's probably the reason I was a psychology major in college. It's certainly the reason that I believe (strongly) that everybody is talented, original, and has something important to say. (That bit of philosophy is something I picked up from Brenda Ueland's marvelous book, If You Want to Write.) People are awesome — even if we're each flawed in our own way. One thing I've noticed over the past few years is the dichotomy between knowing something and doing something.
