Hi Bloom,

Thanks for reading my article. On Writing Well is such a useful reference and its author has such passion for his craft that it’s no wonder we find his material so timeless. I’m glad you enjoyed this reading this.

Hi Stefan,

It’s great that you found this article useful and it reminds you to relax and enjoy yourself. I learned a lot from my conversation with Mr. Zinsser. It’s interesting to pick the brain of successful people and to get their perspective. Enjoying ourselves is very important and like you I have to keep that in mind when setting and achieving my goals. Thanks for reading.

Good to see that you also learned some things. Being yourself is important, and not trying to please others. And giving people more than they expect. That will certainly make people see who you really are. I think you are already got at it, considering the very helpful response I got from you in the last article I commented on.

I emailed the paragraph about giving yourself permission to be great to a friend. Great stuff! I think she needs just that extra permission to really get going, and show the world what she is capable of.

I certainly have given myself permission to be successful, but I think I have forgotten to give myself permission to relax and enjoy myself, like going into the woods and snap photos, which I used to do a lot. I haven’t “had time” for that for some time now. I have got to change that.

Excellent article, Robert!

Keep up the good work!
Stefan
