The hardest part of becoming known for something is sticking with it even when nobody cares.*
Gabe Anderson

All great [people] were great workers, untiring not only in invention but also in rejecting, sifting, reforming, arranging.**
Friedrich Nietzsche

If you don’t care about the thing you do, maybe
you need a new direction:
If you find nothing of surprise on your story’s horizon,
you need a new compass point.^

But if you do care, you have some options:
Get rid of the parts that aren’t so important
or aren’t working for you,
Bring the most important elements to the fore,
Improve wherever you can, and
rearrange them in a new way,
A new story.

even to live is an act of courage^^
