The Only Failure is not Finishing

We all know the expression "something is better than nothing." With life story capture this is especially true.

Too many people obsess over the "hypothetical comprehensiveness" of their life story or personal history when they should really be more concerned with starting and finishing their basic work.

A simple life story is as important a gift to the future as a multi volume professionally written memoir. In fact, a more condensed and pithy work is actually more valuable.

So please don't use the excuse that is not worth doing if it is not comprehensive and definitive. . . while you are incubating that perfection you may find that you leave nothing at all behind.

And that would be a shame.
