tennis is life (sometimes)

I watched a lot of early matches at the Australian Open, courtesy of my VPN and a free streaming site in Melbourne. Commentator and former champ Jim Courier, calling the Nadal/Berrettini semi-final, noted the Italian's lack of urgency. "Doesn't he realize that every point is a shoot out?" the American wondered.

The Italian of course lost and Nadal took the 2022 championship.

This mindset might apply to writing. Don't hold back, I remind myself. Pour everything you have into each story, each scene, every time, as much as you can

Every sentence is a shoot out.
