A take with 'tude on writing, books, and life in the Garden State by an author, journalist, and Jersey girl.
1. Tickle Me Tuesday: Butterflies

“There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.”
-Buckminster Fuller


In a business where so much of the work is based purely on vision, this sentiment is particularly appealing to me. After all, writers are used to working with a blank page, but how do we show someone who needs more than that the potential of what’s to come?

Sometimes it takes pure tenacity on our parts. Or a leap of faith on the part of others.

Mostly, we need to surround ourselves with people who see our promise - who can see the butterfly within the caterpillar.
