No matter how long you've been at it, you always start from scratch ~ Jeffrey Eugenides
You always start from scratch. Each time I get a new idea for another novel, I always start from scratch. When I was in direct sales, we started from scratch on each new promotion.
So this quote has two lessons. The first lesson, is even if you're just starting and it feels like you are plowing new ground, remember, even people who have been doing what you're trying to accomplish start from scratch. The second lesson I garnered from this quote is that even after you've accomplished a goal (i.e. writing one novel), you always start from scratch on the next step or the next repeat of your goal (i.e., writing a second novel).
After you reach a goal, do you feel like you always start from scratch?
