Years ago my agent told me, “It’s your first book, it’s not your best book.” That advice freed me up to not worry and just get everything down on paper. 1
Several wise counselors gave me the same advice that I always found hard to follow but it worked every time: "When you are certain of something, it’s time to ask questions." 2
The worst advice I’ve ever received, and I’ve heard it more than once, is: “Don’t bother to write that program, it’s already been done.” 3
