Give Away Everything You Know
Some advice that’s becoming exponentially more relevant each day due to the pace of advances in technology:
Do Not Covet Your Ideas
Give away everything you know, and more will come back to you.
…The problem with hoarding is you end up living off your reserves. Eventually you’ll become stale.
If you give away everything you have, you are left with nothing. This forces you to look, to be aware, to replenish.
Somehow the more you give the more comes back to you
Ideas are open knowledge. Don’t claim ownership. They’re not your ideas anyway, they’re someone else’s. They are out there floating by on the ether.
You just have to put yourself in a frame of mind to pick them up.
From: It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden.

Well!
The truth, of course, is that writers are always working. When you ask a writer a direct question, and he smiles and nods and then says “Well!” and turns and walks away without saying goodbye, he is actually working.
