To wrap up a hectic week back at work, here’s a quote I keep around when I feel I just don't have it in me. It's from Thomas Beller, author of How to Be a Man, and also Seduction Theory and The Sleep-over Artist.
“When you think about writers that one likes, it's just amazing that they were even able to get it together. I’m not just talking about talent. There’s that stupid Gatorade commercial which says something like 'it’s what’s in you,' and I’m like, no. In basketball and writing, it’s not what’s in you, it’s what you get out.”
