Born Standing Up – Bringing Dedication to One’s Craft

I just finished reading Steve Martin’s “biography” (as he calls it) “Born Standing Up – A Comic’s Life.”

While true, it is about his life, it is more than just a re-telling of things that happened to him. It’s not just of his childhood, his teen years, his early adult life or his career on stage. It’s about the dedication one has to what it is they do. To the need to constantly improve. To the love for what it is they were born to do.

For me, writing has always been a part of what I’ve done. I know I haven’t always taken the time or made the effort to continuously make it my writing better or push myself further than what was needed on a given day. (Well, that’s what Steve’s book has shown me).

So I am now making the commitment to do more, write more, focus more and create more than I have in the past. To do anything less, would just be silly.

Writing – because it matters.   David
