Some good advice ...

... from Shameless Words, who wonders Whose Head Are We In? Here's my two cents: A career in writing is a long-distance run, not a sprint. The reason there tend to be so few second acts in American lives, as Fitzgerald put it, is that too many Americans try to cram the whole play into Act One. And it looks as if the rest of the world may be following suit. Slacken up your pace a bit. Forget about the finish line. Enjoy the run.
