Calvin Trillin on writing

 

"I suppose that there are endeavors in which self-confidence is even more important than it is in writing -- tightrope walking comes immediately to mind -- but it's difficult for me to think of anybody producing much writing if
his confidence is completely shot."

 --Calvin Trillin: journalist, humorist, deadline poet.

 into hard work.”

As Trillin says: Enough's enough.
