Failing Has Value.

“If you're not failing every now and again, it's a sign you're not doing anything very innovative.” - Woody Allen

Ah, Woody, intense words from a tense man. I love the fact that a guy like Woody Allen, as successful as he is, would feel that he has failed. It's like that one Thomas Edison quote, "I have not failed. I've just found 1,000 ways that don't work."

Granted, it's a little different when your job is "Inventor," but I suppose all writers are also inventors, as are artists when it comes down to it. Creating anything is a form of invention, and it's encouraging to hear that failing has value.
