Know When to Quit

I’m a fan of Brevity Blog. Here’s a favorite:

“Quitting Time: Why You Need to Let Go of That Writing Project” by Allison K. Williams.

“As writers, we’re sold on the value of perseverance. Just do another draft. Just keep working. Send another query, another submission. One day you’ll break through. Sit down and finish. Now. Today. This week. In fifteen-minute increments while waiting for carpool, or in one wild coffee-fueled weekend. I think I can, I think I can.

I can get to the end of this sentence. This paragraph. This page. This essay. This book.

But there’s value in quitting, too.
