>There's nobody to tell you it's too short, or it's too long, or this section is not detailed enough, or this one is boringly full of details. If you write only for yourself, you can focus on the best things in writing : imagination, and having fun.

I'd really like to take the time to scan this book, I feel like many memes could be created from it.
