Trying to stay on track with my blogging commitments, it's the second Wednesday of the month and time for an #Indelibles post to help support other authors.~~~~~~~~~~~~
STICKTOITIVENESS

Miriam-Webster says it's "the quality that allows someone to continue trying to do something even though it is difficult or unpleasant".
Wiktionary puts it even more simply, "(informal) persistence; determination".
Do not plan for ventures before finishing what's at hand. ~ EuripidesWhat are your secrets for sticking to something you've started? When do you decide a project isn't worth the effort? Do you think it's important to finish no matter whay?
It's the job that's never started as takes longest to finish. ~ J. R. R. Tolkien
Whenever you have taken up work in hand, you must see it to the finish. That is the ultimate secret of success. Never, never, never give up! ~ Dada Vaswani
I journal. When something is taking more out of me than it's putting in, then I know it's time to drop it. My journals show the evidence over time. Ultimately, I think you have to go with your gut on that, but once I'm committed to something, I am as solid as stone. (Granite, not shale.)
