If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
— Thomas J. Watson
Today I finish two new stories and submit them. At least, that’s my plan. It’s a good plan. Even if I lose, I win:)
Submit!

She Said, He Said
“I want your loves to be multiple. I don’t want you to be a snob about anything. Anything you love, you do it. It’s got to be with a great sense of fun. Writing is not a serious business. It’s a joy and a celebration. You should be having fun with it.
The joy of writing has propelled me from day to day and year to year. I want you to envy me, my joy. Get out of here tonight and say: “Am I being joyful?” And if you’ve got a writer’s block, you can cure it this evening by stopping whatever you’re writing and doing something else. You picked the wrong subject.”
― Ray Bradbury
