“It's wonderful to look back at our old writing and cringe. It simply means we have grown and can write better now. And you found some parts you can be proud of, so when you throw the old writing on the floor and stomp on it, remember to celebrate those seeds of genius and be glad that you're still writing.”
“I edit my own stories to death. They eventually run and hide from me.”
“First you jump in, then you swim.”
