I hate it when people philosophize over a cream cake and complain about the poor quality of the cherries.
Such people are full. They are overf. They are stuff.
Such people do not eat dry bread or half-cook potatoes.
I don’t want to be one of those authors who can criticize everything but doesn’t bake anything themselves. I want to stay hungry. When I feel like everything is perfect, I get full. Then I become complacent.
Bad writing helps me stay hungry. Hungry for more. Hungry for personal growth and hungry for criticism.
Show me a happy man and I’ll show you a failure.
