Burn the boats!

No matter what your medium. There is always temptation just before the finish line.

Whether it is a writing block, a life circumstance, or another project that suddenly pops into your head that you think is even better than the one you’ve been working so hard on… and if you just take this moment to jump at it now, it will all fall into place and the pot of gold will present itself leading to a happy life of luxury and acclaim.

Slap yourself.

Do it.

You’re wrong. The beauty of that is, you aren’t special to feel that way. Not at all. There’s always temptation around the corner. Affair stories that lead you astray from your work.

It’s the nature of the beast.

To slay this dragon, you need to finish.

Burn your ships. No retreat. See the project through, no matter what. Nothing gets in the way. When you are done, then, after you appreciate what it is you have accomplished, then… and only then, should you jump on the next project grenade. 

Nobody is going to do it for you. Everybody has their own thing. It takes grit to finish. It doesn’t take anything to be distracted.

Take the time to get it done.

Prove your grit.

An unfinished story is just… well,
