Failure is a stripping away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to myself that I was anything other than what I was, and began to direct all my energy into finishing the only work that mattered to me. Had I really succeeded at anything else, I might never have found the determination to succeed in the one arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, but I was still alive, and I had a typewriter and one big idea. Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
