It's just something I like to remind myself of when I'm feeling frustrated, or tired, or burned out, or blocked.
Sure, people get lucky, get nepo-tized,* or simply stumble into their big break. The majority don't. The majority sacrifice their social lives, their time with family, and their doctor-recommended eight hours of sleep to work their little booties off on a project that may never see the light of day.
So when the rewrites feel like they'll never end, when I'm quite sure that I just can't make that note work in the context of the story, when I'm positive that I'll just die if I don't get out of that chair and outside for some fresh air, I remind myself that the only way out is through.**
Shut up and get it done.
*a variation on nepotism, not actually a word
** also something that someone a lot smarter than me came up with
