In 2010 I'm going to just indulge in my love of stations and train travel

Grief

Danielle la Porte has a great posting on grief. Creative people have a lot of grief in their lives - projects that don't come off - failues and learning to deal with these is crucial.

career advice

...the best career advice I could possibly dispense: just DO things.  Chase after the things that interest you and make you happy.  Stop acting like you have a set path, because you don’t.  No one does.  You shouldn’t be trying to check off the boxes of life; they aren’t real and they were created by other people, not you.  There is no explicit path I’m following, and I’m not walking in anyone else’s footsteps.  I’m making it up as I go.
