Quotes / Stay Focused (Analysis)

Even though I have heard this before a number of times, the fact that you believe this to be your original thought is indicative that you do have talent. It is one thing to plagurize an author’s work, and a much different thing to come to the same resolution after assessing the same problem. Therefore, I commend rather than codemn, and encourage you to continue expressing yourself in literature to find what other gems might be lurking there!

Man is this true, I think that sometimes it better to run with a decent idea then try to carry ten great ones.
good qoute, it helps and puts  a direct thought to something I have been saying for years, just not as finely.

Althought it pays to be ambitious, this aphorism generally applies to most people. Especially writers, for whom it is crucial to remain focused on one work and not running around writing several. I have heard people say “I am working on three projects at the moment” which sounds impressive, but I know that they aren’t going to finish 2/3 of those projects, and will struggle like hell to finish the first.

This depends on a writer’s own ability to manage their writing and can also apply in the wider world of work and relationships. To quote Bob Dylan, “too much of nothing can make a man ill at ease, one man’s temper might rise, while another’s temper might freeze.”

Your quote says the opposite but highlights the reason why some do too many things at once, they are afraid of being inactive. It is surprising how many writers are frightened to sit alone at their terminals and wrestle with the silence of their imaginations.

An astute and wise quote, and one every writer would do well to memorise from the very beginning.

This something I do..I would try to write to stories at once, but concentrating on just one improves it’s quality.

This quote is certainly true, and for that reason may be memorable. However, the quote, “A stitch in time saves nine” says nearly the same thing in fewer words that are more catchy and memorable. Play around with it, and see if some words could be eliminated or more powerful ones added? See in HOW FEW WORDS you can make your point. It can be a fun way to burn some time. Good job! (:

I understand what this means I think. Keeping your eyes set on one goal is more wise than trying to put all of your focus on many.

It’s pretty vague, as in you have to set your eyes on many thing TO accomplish anything of value. I’m sure you meant too many different things, which would correlate with focus as your title. I just think you could word this better. Even when worded more clearly, I still don’t completely agree- Although priorities are a must, and I see where you are coming from.

i guess that’s true. An artist puts all of his strength and might into his craft, focusing on every detail.

I would write it thus:

Set your sights on too many things,
and you won’t end up with anything!

Only because I like the rhyme. :)

Well you just put one of my weaknesses in words that are just perfectly precise.
I just have so many ideas when I write that I can never accomplish writing ‘a’ story. It’s quite disappointing actually. Good work, though I don’t think it will be memorable.
