I was really excited about my current story last night, and explained it to Jake (to his credit, he gave me the eyebrows on the weird bits and approved of the less weird bits), and then in my inspired excitement I tossed up my hands and asked so why doesn’t everyone write and we looked at each other for a moment and he got a big wry smile and in unison we said cause it sucks and then I went on to try to explain that yes, 70-90% of the time it really REALLY sucks, but…I’ll be damned if that 10-30% isn’t worth it
