I think its important too, though, to learn from specialists and get help from people who really know what they're doing. It just adds to the efforts we're already making.

I think you have to have many strings to your bow as the world is changing so fast. For me now under the banner of Mixed Media art I can bring together all the things I love doing and more and still find other things that I am interested in trying or feel that is a useful thing to learn.

And I'm a successful book translator now with almost 300 books translated, and as a writer. After all these experiences, and all what I read of your post, I must admit that YOU'RE PERFECTLY RIGHT! I, personally, hold music above all other arts, and secondly, literature and poetry. However, especially while writing, you have to know what you're talking about, regardless to what you write, fiction or non-fiction. A very good point, Susan, and very well worded.
