Sometimes, I just want to post all your blogs. Your words are powerful – encouraging, and realistic. Thank you so much for being willing to share yourself.

The pathological persistence, BTW, came from Jay Lake: http://www.jlake.com/2009/02/04/writingprocess-superpowers-psychotic-persistence-and-success-in-writing/

You don’t know me, but I wanted to thank you for this post. Not that I was planning on quitting, but I was in need of a swift kick in the ass, and while this was more like a gentle kick in the ass, it did the job.

So thanks

Time for me to get back to work.
