Discipline: What it's all about

Robert Frost, the man who advised, "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader," has this to say about the discipline of writing:
"Discipline. Tightness. Firmness. Crispness. Sternness. And sternness in our lives. Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary, then your grammar, then your punctuation. Then, in exuberance and bounding energy, you say you're going to add to that...and you delight in that power."
