If you can bear to let a short piece sit a week and a book-length work a month, do so. Longer is fine, too; some authors have abandoned manuscripts for years before unearthing them and realizing, â€˜Hey, this isnâ€™t bad,â€™ and renewing their energy for the project.”
“It is better to follow even the shadow of the best, than to remain content with the worst.”
