Fools Rush In, but Winners Never Quit

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Had enough adages?

I've got millions more:


  • Never say die.
  • Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
  • Ours is not to question why; ours is but to do or die.
  • Fail your way to success.
  • If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.


Okay, I don't have a million. I have five.

This is my lame attempt at an introduction to a man with something important to say: Larry Brooks of the Storyfix web site talks today about how, in the literary industry, NO means I DON'T KNOW.

Go read his article, and then...

Don't rush in. But don't quit till you win.
