do haberdashers have self-doubt?
This is depressing. Perhaps it’s not too late to try for a career in something easier like particle physics, less depressing like classical ballet, or with a brighter future like haberdashery.—Pat Walsh, 78 Reasons Why Your Book May Never Be Published & 14 Reasons Why It Just Might
Isn’t that quote perversely encouraging? It makes me laugh about my chosen field. (Maybe I just have a warped sense of humor.) I just finished Pat Walsh’s grim and hilarious book, and it motivates me to work on my writing, to be as absolutely good as I can be ... even though the odds are terrible. Perverse again. Why choose this wall in particular to beat my head against?
