The highest reward for man’s toil
is not what he gets for it,
but what he becomes by it.

And sometimes what we get for our toil only happens when the toil is pursued to completion – that’s a hard part. There is a huge difference between starting something and finishing it.
Because of that, when you finish something, take the time to respect what you have accomplished – and think twice about throwing yourself into the fray for something new.
I know when I finish my mainstream trilogy, probably five years from now, I will have sunk twenty seven years into the task – and I will have to think deeply about whether I can or want to do that again.
