My job is not to save 'The Wheel of Time', to fix 'The Wheel of Time', or anything like that. My job is not to screw it up.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I will not do work that isn't done well or right. Stuff happens - things break, contractors don't come through - but I don't want to be responsible for not doing something correctly.
You don't find time to write. You make time. It's my job.
Time management is the mantra of my life.
One of the torturous things about my job is that, as time goes on, you get more and more clarity on all the things you've screwed up and all the mistakes you've made.
Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.
You get to a place where you do your job, and then you dust your hands off and say, 'Okay, my job is done. Now, it's in the stars. We'll see what happens.' There's nothing I can do to affect it.
If something's important to you, you make time for it.
At one point I took on a new job, and I just didn't have time to do anything but work.
I can't worry about the consequences of what I do; that's not my job.
When I have a job to do, time means nothing. I lose patience with people who work on a clock.
