The Monday Morning Memo

Eduardo Prado of Guatemala (left) invited the wizard and the princess to dinner in his home there 15 years ago. Chris Maddock (right) accompanied them to Guatemala so that he might climb the nearby mountains and sample the local beer. The wizard snapped this photo of Eduardo and Chris after a delightful evening’s conversation. Chris Maddock teaches a number of classes at Wizard Academy. One of them, How to Write for Radio and the Internet, also features co-instructor Jeff Sexton. It really is an amazing class. This sounds like a sales pitch, right? Nope. We don’t even have the next session posted on the schedule. You’ll just have to remember to notice it when it does appear.

Random Quote:

“Accidental Magic isn’t fifty percent accident and fifty percent magic. And it isn’t any variation of this formula. It doesn’t work mathematically. As Dr. Pam Williams told me, ‘The math ain’t mathin’.’

It is one hundred percent accident and one hundred percent magic. And when added together they make one hundred percent accidental magic without any attrition.

Accidental Magic cannot be reverse-engineered. It was never forward-engineered. It wasn’t a planned destination. It was just a few cats meandering. You break a stupid rule and before you know it Martha Reeves is on the microphone.

There’s ‘nowhere to run to baby’… because that’s where we were running to in the first place.

To meander in one’s profession is to attempt to do something you don’t know how to do. Attempt is the first step on the path to expertise.

Meandering requires audacity, vulnerability, and the misplacement of one’s timepiece.”
