Patience is an ever present alternative to the mind's endemic restlessness and impatience.

~ Jon Kabat-Zinn

A short story is a sprint, a novel is a marathon. Sprinters have seconds to get from here to there and then they are finished. Marathoners have to carefully pace themselves so that they don't run out of energy (or in the case of the novelist-- ideas) because they have so far to run. To mix the metaphor, writing a short story is like having a short intense affair, whereas writing a novel is like a long rich marriage.

Es la misma energía que uso en pelearme con mi pareja la que necesito para descubrir qué me pasa a mí con el asunto.
~ Jorge Bucay
Aprovechar los conflictos para el crecimiento personal, de eso se trata. En lugar de utilizar mi energía para cambiar al otro, utilizarla para observar qué hay de mí en eso que me molesta.
