Professional Writing

Went biking with Marcus Buckingham this morning. It was great. Tried a different biking pattern and only burned about 505 calories. But that always happens when I try another pattern. Re-listened to the opening tape of Putting Your Strengths to Work. Buckingham was saying that most people when working get into a flow experience at least once a week. But that really doesn't "feed" them enough. It's true. I remember the thrilling days of yesterday when I was a copy editor at W. B. Saunders. God I don't think I had a flow experience more than once every couple months, and those happened when we had a fire drill.

Anyway, writing gives me that flow. Teaching does it sometimes. Fundraising does it about every twenty seconds. Hmmmm.

Well, off to class.
