Great book on writing and life.

“In the long run, the revision process feels better when you approach it with curiosity.  Every editorial mark can’t register as a “mistake” that threatens the spider ego.  Remind yourself that revising proves your care for the reader and the nature of your ambition.   Writing, regardless of the end result — whether good or bad, published or not, well reviewed or slammed — means celebrating beauty in an often ugly world.   And you do that by fighting for elegance and beauty, redoing or cutting the flabby, disordered parts.”
