Sage advice:
I once pulled out a ten-year old unsubmitted and unfinished piece of writing, revised it, and submitted it—it was published, and won an award. It took ten years for me to understand what that argument was really about, so leaving it unfinished for that long wasn’t a bad choice at all. There are others that will remain forever unfinished—also not a bad choice.
But there are times when one should just hit submit. The dreams may not come true, but there will be other pieces of writing about which we can dream.
I’m saying all this because I hope people who might be stuck in their writing will find it hopeful. Just hit submit.
