"The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue."

Napoleon Bonaparte

I'm averaging five hours of sleep this week, between my jobs, my family, my cold, and my determination to write during the brief and unfocused moments that are left over. Writing is like trying to save a fortune in a piggy bank; if you only drop in the occasional spare change when it's convenient, you're not going to reach your goal. You have to be thinking about it constantly, disciplined enough to never skip a day, never skip an opportunity to invest. It's at the expense of my health that I soldier on through my overwhelming workload, raising a family, and keeping a home, toward the very last page.

I know fatigue. 

I can endure.

Let me not forget it.
