“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all,
right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place
in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now.
[The] impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful,
it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly
becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.”
― Annie Dillard, novelist and nature writer
