Without doubt, you have to leave the comfort zone of base camp and confront an entirely new and unknown wilderness.

Many librettists in opera collaborations in the past have forgotten this, or not known it, or refuse to accept it and tried to get out in front of the creative process and it just doesn't work that way.

Your greatest creation is your creative life. It's all in your hands. Rejection can't take it away; reviews can't take it away.
