Emily Thiede
Don't expect your work to live up to your expectations at first. If you read your writing and feel frustrated that it's not as good as it could be, that's actually good! It means you have good taste and can push yourself to keep striving and improving your craft. Nothing you write is wasted, any more than any run is wasted when training for a marathon. Evert step moves you closer.
