There’s a saying I tell myself: How do you eat a whale? One bite at a night.

I’m not sure who actually said that, or when I first heard that saying. It’s a helpful reminder to stay focused in the moment. There are times where I get overwhelmed with the amount of work that still needs to be done in rewriting this book. The amount of words that need to be reworked, the amount of time needed, and the knowledge that this is slow-going. There is nothing immediate. But, I tell myself to stay focused in the moment, “eat” the whale, one bite at a time.
