“What I’m trying to say is just I’ll have to ask you to have patience about the book and trust me that at last, or at least for the 1st time in years, I’m doing the best I can. I’ve gotten in dozen of bad habits that I’m trying to get rid of
1. Laziness
2. Referring everything to Zelda — a terrible habit, nothing ought to be referred to anybody until it’s finished
3. Word consciusness — self doubt
etc etc etc etc etc
F. Scott Fitzgerald, lettera a Maxwell Perkins, 10 aprile 1924
