What you've done is done. You've got a goal you never reach, and it's always farther away. It keeps you walking. I don't want to sit down.
I've been an inveterate reader of literary magazines since I was a teenager. There are always discoveries. You're sitting in your easy chair, reading; you realize you've read a story or a group of poems four times, and you know, Yes, I want to go farther with this writer.
