Just realize that the Mechanics do not exist and are not worthy of your attention. Unless they threaten you, and then you must kill them, Mage Alain. Mechanics are as merciless as they are mercenary. If any appear dangerous, kill them. ...What if he had remembered that advice during the bandit attack, when the Mechanic had pointed her weapon at his face? He could have killed her then. He could have tried at least. Then, when she was dead, the bandits would have found Alain and killed him, too. Clearly the advice of his elders was lacking in some respects.

The Dragons of Dorcastle

"

The advice that I have valued in my own life has never turned on fixed maxims or canned metaphors. More crucially, lists of precepts don't work like targeted advice because lists contain inherently constraining messages. They seem to say that complex matters are knowable, that a given process leads to foreseeable results. It implies a thin and predictable world, whereas the sort of advice that has mattered to me bespeaks a quite tentative optimism, the optimism of the quest whose outcome is finally unknowable.

You know how I say, __on__ ask anyone how to get somewhere unless they have been there?_ Well, I have been there _ I have written, been published, found success, and experienced self-doubt, frustration, anger and disappointment along the way _ But you know what? I have not been to the place you__e going to. This is your journey. Your destination. Disregard everything in this book. Or embrace it. Better yet: cherry pick. It__ your life.
