My farming granddad
had a saying
– Make hay
while the sun shines.
Take advantage
when great circumstances
to complete certain tasks
present themselves.
For example,
when I’m in a bad mood,
I edit stories.
I don’t hesitate
to scrap entire scenes
then.
After I’ve submitted a story
to my editor
and I’m riding that energy high,
as another example,
I continue to work hard
and complete a sh*tload of promo
in advance.
Make hay
while the sun shines.
When the conditions
are great
to complete a certain task,
rearrange your schedule
and complete that task.
