Just as reading is easy when you make no presumptions, writing is easy when you make no assumptions.
1. When you begin writing a new piece, never assume that you will finish it; that is a sure path to discouragement.
2. When you begin writing a new piece, never assume that you know how it's going to turn out; that is a sure path to dissatisfaction.
3. When you begin writing a new piece, never assume that anyone will ever read it; that is a sure path to disgruntlement.
4. When you begin writing a new piece, never assume that you are doing anything unique; that is a sure path to disappointment.
5. When you begin writing a new piece, never assume that you are not assuming anything; that is a sure path to disillusionment.
Me, a fictitious author, chalk-full of both presumptions and assumptions, growing disenchanted.
