Writers are the greatest perfectionists after surgeons. Because of course, we don’t expect a surgeon to forget his tools inside a human.

Sometimes, I could even stare at my article for so long and find errors that aren’t there. It’s why I don’t read most of my work. Once it goes live, I give up the control to YOU.
