Love the "hope will save you". Great additions to the previous 25.

Loved the whole list, such a great reminder creative work is work. So work it well, and just maybe you get magic at the end. From #9, "Stories have the power to make people feel." Uh huh. No matter what else I do or don't do, if I haven't ripped people's hearts from their chests and made their spirits soar in glee, though maybe not in the same moment, I've failed. Though considering #13 and #14, I'll likely try again.
