“Writing isn't about racing to the finish line; it's about finding joy in each step of the process. If a writer focuses on the journey, the destination will take care of itself.”

“Focus on the journey not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it.”

“Sometimes we become so focused on the finish line, that we fail to find joy in the journey.”

“It's Christmas! Ah, Christmas, the time when all good people go about not decapitating each other.”
