The Manifesto of Steven L. Drake

Remember the sacrifice, and the struggle that emancipated the dream. Never forget those ten cold years, or where you came from. Check your ego at the door, so to keep the vision clear. Accept constructive criticism to perfect the craft, but never stop fighting 'til the art is made flesh. Be true to your soul, and no longer deny the whispers of your ghost. Trust in instinct if faith goes dark. Let the voices guide you when the light leaves. Do not allow fear to blind, cripple, or deafen you. Nobody knows you like yourself. What are you waiting for?

I'm gonna make it...


I was going to the bathroom this morning, having just finished Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin, and I looked over at my iPod dock/clock radio, which read 11:08 AM, and this overwhelming thought just came through me... I'm gonna make it... At first I heard it, then I said it, and then I couldn't stop saying it. My life kinda flashed before my eyes... I could see a lot of my experiences clearly, and how I will make my own way--I always thought I had to do what everyone did to "make it," but no! I'm gonna make it!!
