And you know, writing is a job, but it's also first and foremost (in my head, anyway) an art and a craft. The craft carries me through when the art isn't firing, but I still think, sometimes, that when one gets a little too facile at turning it on and off easily, it maybe means one isn't bleeding on the page quite as one used to.
I don't pretend this applies to anyone else, but if I'm not sweating, I'm never sure I'm working up to my potential.
And Product is all very nice, but I also think it's oversold as a be-all and end-all.
I have bled on the page, though. The recovery time is significant.
I'm not saying that it isn't worth it or that at times it isn't necessary. I just think that in this as in most things, there has to be a happy medium.
