If you’re a young — or not young at all — writer you should read this Dear Sugar post on The Rumpus. In fact, you should just read The Rumpus (www.therumpus.net). But Dear Sugar’s advice to a struggling writer who is depressed and despondent because she hasn’t been “successful” is particularly brilliant. The quote above — If your nerve deny you, go above your nerve — is from Emily Dickinson. Dear Sugar’s quotes are pretty good too. Read it!
If your nerve deny you, go above your nerve.
