I have
written a dozen novels,
from
beginning to end.
People
praise me for this.
But these
novels are first drafts,
and instead
of editing them,
I write
another because it's easier.
They talk
of my work ethic,
say they
want to read them one day,
but never
will.
If I die
old and miserable,
I will be
an author of a hundred novels,
and none of
them will be worth reading.

"Your story is not your story when you force yourself to become someone else's story. You are where you're coming from and you are where it is that you're going to. The only person you need to compare yourself today to is the person you were yesterday. If you want to have a comptetition with anybody, then make it between those two people. You find yourself in a place where the person you are today is no longer afraid to meet the person that you can become tomorrow." -Goalcast video: https://www.facebook.com/goalcast/videos/1650387015038482/?hc_ref=ART5MBSyY-hOx5cEI2VD2bfSQ4Gbblst94Pus9w6Hh6lwh2BgmvJu5o9wmxc2h28OFk
