You Have To Surrender To Your Mediocrity, And Just Write. Because It’s Hard, Really Hard, To Write

You have to surrender to your mediocrity, and just write. Because it’s hard, really hard, to write even a crappy book. But it’s better to write a book that kind of sucks rather than no book at all, as you wait around to magically become Faulkner. No one is going to write your book for you and you can’t write anybody’s book but your own.

In 1945, this ship was awarded to the Soviet Union as war compensation and renamed (dun dun dun...) SEDOV. It is now the largest operational tall ship in existence.

Photo by Samuel J. Hood, 1933 or maybe 1935.

I apologize if you already have this, but I think you might want this cat licking its butt as a medieval reaction.
