When your one paragraph spawns seven heads
Something to remember whenever you feel overwhelmed with the snowballing ideas:
Nothing we write will ever be definitive. When you’re covering a topic, you have to bite off the part you have time to chew. You’ll always leave something unsaid. Don’t ever believe you are going to write anything definitive: “Decide what corner of your subject you’re going to bite off, and be content to cover it well and stop.”
