Ann Chandonnet spent the prime of her life in Alaska (1965-66, 1973-2006) and now lives, gardens and writes in North Carolina where the locals call insignificant pimples on the landscape (600 feet for crying out loud) "mountains."
1. Keep your day job.
2. Don't expect the editors of little magazines to be grateful that your vocabulary is larger than theirs. But don't alter your word choices just because they object.

4. Keep notes of good ideas.
4.9. Your dreams deserve respect because they are unique.
