“Write often. . . .Then, learn to let go. Let go of old drafts that aren’t going anywhere, or scenes that don’t work. Don’t spend months tweaking a fundamentally flawed project when you can move on to the wonderful new projects that are percolating in your head. The ‘you must start what you finish’ attitude—although admirable—can actually be a pitfall, because it prevents you from taking a necessary course correction when you need it.” ~ Leslie Lutz
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

Must take the right decisions. 🙂
Terveen, thanks for your insights and comments. When I worked with doctoral students at OSU, the most difficult task I had was convincing them to cut, cut, and cut some more as they wrote their dissertation. My students were in love with their work, which made cutting difficult. When they defended their dissertation, they came to understand that cutting made their dissertation much stronger. I think I’ll head to the cutting board on my current project, ouch, that hurts. LOL Have a great day. Shine on. Ray
It does hurt. But it’s for the best. Take care, Ray. 🙂
