I don't think that's a problem :-)

I'll second that. I like its practicality, and the way it mixes
writing and career advice. As anyone who has been in the field more
than a month can testify, the writing is often the easy part. It's
the office politics and survival in the profession that's the hard
part. Yet almost every other book in the field ignores subjects like
career paths and how to get along with SMEs.

Wise blood,the sky's on fire: away, away,
Wild wood, bush and briar, it makes your heart to tremble;
Love, you mustn't tire at the dying of the day."
