ReplyDeleteIf we apply that to our writing, then we shouldn't write :( Better to let people think I can't do it, than to try to publish and remove all doubt :(
Interesting take on Abe's quote. Makes sense. I thought of it as more of when we have our manuscript critiqued. We don't argue with them. We listen, consider it, then either toss it, or make the changes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging quotes.
ReplyDeleteMy personal fav: No amount of planning can replace dumb luck.
