You work some every day, and you read, and you throw yourself into new experiences, and though these things might not have the immediate, tangible results our culture insists upon, you must have faith that they are taking root somewhere in your work, and you are becoming a better writer, and one day, people will be moved by the stories you create from this creative soup. (Incidentally, people already are moved by what you have to say (witness this blog), whether or not you're getting paid for it, and that is no small thing.)E.A.
