Writing Quote Wednesday: Risks

“You can’t get to the top of the mountain by keeping one foot on the ground.”

—Rock climber and business professor, Jim Collins, as quoted in The Creative Spirit

On my weekend writing retreat, I took a apart a novel that I’ve been working on. I love this book, but I think I was holding onto too much of it. I gave myself to really rewrite it this weekend. It involved a bit of risk and the uncertainty of not knowing if the new version will be better than the last.
