I'm a person who's always had problems understanding emotions, and it's created problems for me at work, all my 30-odd years. My technical competence is obvious. So is my emotional incompetence. Between jobs, I write. Toni Morrison said, "If there's a book you want to read, and no one had written it, then you must write it."I'm 200 (badly) written pages into it. The subject disturbs me on some levels. I'm contemplating abandoning it. Yi appears to be telling me, "it's up to you, but you should go on." But what's needed to go on seems more than I have. I've read the technical how-tos to create a book. I've researched what I didn't know. I've answered my question. But. I don't have a marketable work product (and an artifact to demonstrate that I'm not just shooting around doing nothing). But writing about people also requires emotional intelligence. I can't spin that out of thin air.Am I kidding myself? Have I already taken this as far as I can go?ZP
