“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 save something good for a better place
later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later,
something better. ... [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. ”


―  Annie Dillard
