“Spend your energies on your story. Reworking it. Making it better. Increasing the scale, the depth of content, the universal themes. Those around you can have their novellas. A few will even cook up a Greek tragedy. But you will craft nothing less than an epic with your life. Out of all of them, your story will be the one to last”
