Mur’s Final Push will remind you of the only rule in writing or any other creative pursuit: DON’T QUIT! Quotes:

“We’re always ruder to ourselves than we are to anyone we love.”

“What can you accomplish today? Don’t worry about tomorrow. Don’t worry about yesterday. You can’t fix either of those. One is not broken and the other is unreachable.”

“Often times if I try to force my brain to think up new story, it will flatly refuse.”

“If you think you need to suffer to create art, I wonder why your art is more important than your wellbeing.”
