The beginning is one half of the deed

Lewis was back on our screens this week and with it was a piece in The Radio Times on Colin Dexter.  I was very impressed when he said:

"The only thing I ever learnt in life, my saving grace, is initium est dimidium facti - the beginning is one half of the deed.  Most people leave everything until tomorrow, but I just write, forget how bloody awful it is, and next day it doesn't seem half bad."

I also love his best crossword puzzle clue: Bar of Soap?  Answer: Rovers Return!!
