This whole writing business really is... something.
It's kinda like your brain and body is separated. The brain always negotiating for something more, and the body reluctantly tags along.
Oh, well.
Gotta keep moving.
Only 14 days left!
Here are some quotes on persistence
Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius. ~Georges-Louis Leclerc
Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before. ~Jacob A. Riis
You don't start out writing good stuff. You start out writing crap and thinking it's good stuff, and then gradually you get better at it. That's why I say one of the most valuable traits is persistence. ~Octavia Butler
In this world, there is nothing softer or thinner than water. But to compel the hard and unyielding, it has no equal. That the weak overcomes the strong, that the hard gives way to the gentle -- this everyone knows. Yet no one asks accordingly. ~ Laozi (Lao Tzu, Lao Tse)
Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did. ~Newt Gingrich
And my personal favorite:
Consider the postage stamp: its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there. ~Josh Billings
Gotta keep moving, people!
