Back in the 1970s, Steve Martin, that wild and crazy guy, uttered some famous words on an album (yeah, those things made of vinyl) that I have never forgotten: “Punt on first down.”
Those who understand football know that is just plain old crazy talk. No team in its right mind would punt on first down. That’s just giving up without trying. Quitting without any effort. And it this also applies to writers.
