Don't take one person's impressions -- especially one speaking as a non-writer
-- as necessarily accurate. If every new thing I wrote wasn't as meaningful to
me as the last thing, or the first thing that I wrote, I'd get out of the
business.

Because at that point you've got no business being IN the business.
