A Mystery Quote

I hate writing. I love having written.

When I went looking for a refresher on who actually said this, I found competing stories. You most often see it attributed to Dorothy Parker, but I've also found evidence that Edna St. Vincent Millay and Robert Louis Stevenson said it.

Whoever did, knew what they were talking about... though I find it applies to many areas of life.

I hate exercising, but love having exercised. I hate doing laundry, but I love having laundered. I find it can be used in almost any situation.
