Cool. I got about 70 pages into it a year ago... I need to actually read it.
You should go back to it! Though I find it’s the sort of book that beacons you from the shelf when the time is right for you to read it (circumstances that are out of your hands). It’s also really good if you’ve flushed out an idea in a first draft (or half a draft) and want to better understand some of the things you’ve already done, or see the possible directions you can take things.
MMM. I'm definitely going to pick up that book. Joseph Campbell was one of my favorite thinkers. I love that his advice to anyone was to 'follow your bliss'. I think I could use some more of that reasoning anytime.
