They're just sitting there. At the end of your bed. Like your sleep paralysis demon. Go ahead. They won't bite. Probably.

If you choose to be a writer, you will fail. And that's okay. It's the sticking around despite those failures that will define your "career" - whether it be amateur or professional.
