"There is surely a word—in German, most likely—that means the state of active non-accomplishment. Not just the failure to reach a specific goal, but ongoing, daily failure with no end in sight. Stunted ambition. Disappointed potential. Frustrated and sad and lonely and hopeless and sick to death of one's self."
-Susanna Daniel, in a Slate.com article called: "What Took You So Long? The quiet hell of 10 years of novel writing." You can read the article here.
I posted the quote because I totally understand the sentiment.
