What to do with your manuscript when it’s finished – David Mitchell. Quotes for Writers (and people who like quotes)
All writers agonize over their work…knowing when to put the lid on it is an art, a gift…how here’s David Mitchell’s view. Thank you Bridget Whelan!
Send the thing out and forget it. Quickly get to work on the next thing. Don’t sit by the phone or watch your email. Don’t hope. You’ve done a big thing by finishing something. Spend all the energy on possible despair. Avert that possible despair. Transfer the despair to the next manuscript. Right away, like the next day.
