An editor once told me that
no matter how big a piece of sh**
I thought whatever manuscript
I was working on was,
to finish it.
Why?
Because there are lessons in finishing
that quitting early doesn’t teach.
Now, I don’t finish every project.
Many die an early death
for a number of reasons
from lack of a marketable idea
to lack of funding, etc.
But I do finish more tasks than I don’t.
We only truly get credit
for the products we launch,
not the ideas in our heads.
