All to often, when people talk about creative work, they emphasize strategy. Neophytes are advised of the Machiavellian devices they must employ to break into the field. I think this is a lot of rubbish. If you ask an artist how he got where he is, he will not describe breaking in but instead will talk of a series of lucky breaks. Joseph Campbell calls those breaks, " a thousand of unseen helping hands". I call them synchronicity. It is my contention that you can count on them.
