If you're in the middle of writing a novel I wish to read, I fully expect you to be putting in 20 hour days and wearing your manicure up to the elbow to get it finished.

The article about the rich longing to be uber-rich was fascinating too. I was just talking to a friend about our 24-7 society, and how there's no time left for fun or relaxation. We're even teaching it to our children. "Stop. Just stop." "Define your own win conditions." Good advice. Thanks. Very interesting post, Mer.

“Stop. Just stop.” “Define your own win conditions.”

Good advice. Thanks.
