Episode 155: When is the book done?

Notes:

The Verbivore paraphrases a quote from a James Cameron article. That actual quote is:

- “People call me a perfectionist, but I'm not. I'm a rightist. I do something until it's right, and then I move on to the next thing.”

The Verbivore references a scene from the Pixar movie Onward. Here is the quote and link:

- Ian Lightfoot: I'm not ready! 

Barley Lightfoot: You'll never be ready. Merge!
