Chance Favors the Prepared Mind

Last night, I we had a fabulous guest speaker in class. He cited one of his favorite quotes from a Stephen Segal movie, of all things. The quote states: "Chance favors the prepared mind." This hit home. This is more than my job... this is my calling. I have spent my life seeking to be "the prepared mind" and then seeking to help others find their path to the prepared mind. Writing is, after all, the art connecting the mind of a writer with that of a reader.
