So true. I was in a Spanish class once and the professor was not only very strict but hard to understand (she was later diagnosed with a brain tumor). I was flunking, but caught all kinds of hell for quitting that class nevertheless. I continued to read and study entirely on my own and a couple years later got a job as an interpreter/translator, which I continued to do for the next 25 years.

To quit or not to quit? Yep, that is the question. I wish I knew the answer. 🙂

I have saved this article to my desktop and intend to read it daily until I finally self-publish the book that I finished over a year ago. I find myself unable to tell others “no,” then I get angry with myself (and sometimes them, too) for not saying it.

Oh this spoke to me! First, I quit a short story at the start of 2019 that had been plaguing me for far too long. It went from 5k to 18k back down to 3k and I could never get it right. So I finally ditched it. Like really ditched it. I deleted all the drafts so I wasn’t tempted to go back too. Quitting the right way is so smart!

After doing NaNoWriMo last year I was seized with delirious visions of perpetual insane productivity. But that would have burned me out in no time. I quit writing – for a couple of months, while I recharged and focused on other areas of my life – and am now raring to get back into rewrites come February 1st.
