They say give your best work away for free. This is the best work I’ve ever created in my whole entire life. This is my whole life…

The problem about progress is that you rarely see it.

Or feel it.

The problem about mistakes and failure is that you always see them.

Or feel them.

If you don’t get it, ask.

If you still don’t get it, ask again.

And if you then still don’t get it, ask again.

Ask until you get it.

I know it sounds obvious.

I don’t know how to become a better writer.

And these quotes will probably not help you to become a better writer.

Because the only thing that will ever help you to become a better writer is to write.

Which one is better?

To create more stuff or to create better stuff?

It’s obvious that creating better stuff is better than merely creating more stuff.

Did you really just run out of ideas or did you just run out of things to do that you already know how to do?
