It’s one of my favorite sports — up to a point. Then, well, I get bored. I get tired. I get other ideas and want to move on. That happens sooner on some pieces than others.

Novelist Karen Hancock addressed this condition with a quote in her blog: “This is where I have to start applying that Tom Clancy quote about good enough being good enough, whereas perfect is a total pain and often not worth the trouble anyway.”

Well said, Karen. What more could I add?

Write on,
