retiens-toi de faire d'autres commentaires.
refrain yourself from making other commentaries.

je me souviens que mes collègues, quand ils avaient écrit quelques poèmes ou un petit roman, cherchaient immédiatement un éditeur. moi, je me disais, «non, tu ne publieras pas, retiens-toi».
i was very severe with myself, and i continue to be. i remember that my peers, when they had written some poems or a small novel, searched for a publisher right away. i would tell myself, “no, you’re not publishing, you hang on to that.” i kept certain things, and others i threw out.
