One lesson I learned in my global leadership career that helped me tremendously was to be curious, ask questions & get into the details to develop a command of the business. In short, before you board any ship, take time to learn how the ship works!

@Nickyshearsby22 I edit as I write which is a continuous process and one I try to control. I like your 5X draft number to control your editing to keep you from the versioning forever zone! My editing stops when the draft feels good and after that, I release myself from the editing vortex.

[Cleo Franklin @CleoFranklinJr]

@brentyeaaa I love Hemingway. However, that's his perspective. I feel the most critical things to become a writer are the following. Courage (a lot of it), having a story that refuses to be silent, and lastly...the ability to be fearful, yet unafraid to say what others are unable to say.

[Cleo Franklin @CleoFranklinJr]

@MaroftheBooks I love this question! I get most of my writing done when the pen says "It's time to write!" Writing for me is fluid, with no certain or set time. Morning, afternoon, or evening, it happens when that writing light turns on, which can be anytime! Is anyone else like this out there?

"Poetry is words spoken like none other. And when penned in ink...they reveal and bring to light what was once covered." ~ C.P.F. Jr.

@PFDonato Her words were soft as petals.
Her touch was fragile, yet so strong.
It was the first time I witnessed poetry...
The night she came along!
