So, don't ever let anyone call you lazy or say you have it "sooooo easy". Because I'd like to see those same people go through all the things you've gone through and may be going through right now and manage to come up with an award winning novel or short story or poem.
I really needed to hear that today. I'm really floundering and starting to wonder if it's time to give up writing and do something productive, like dig ditches in the Alaskan wilderness with a spork.
Lately I feel like I'm never going to be any better than I am now as a writer, and that's not good enough, and maybe I should stop wasting my time, editors time, and everyone else's time, and go back to a Real World job.

Anyway. I really did need to hear this today.
