I would actually reprimand myself for being lazy, even though I knew time and energy were often the reason for my negligence. Finally, last year, I realized that, while quantity is nice, (I still harbor a thought in the back of my head that someday someone with influence will "discover" me), it is quality that matters most and it is quality that might one day make my dream of writing for a living happen. Still, there are times when I feel like I have forced a post. And, while writing for a living may be my goal, the thought of having to write to meet a deadline, being told what to write, and what to not write about, and probably, having to write with regards to my employer's opinions as opposed to my true feelings, all scare me. Thanks for your post. It makes me realize that I am not alone in all these thoughts, and reminds me that it is in the writing itself that lies the pleasure; being paid is merely the icing on the cake. And it reminds me that the world is full of inspiration, whether that inspiration derives from day to day life or the works of great artists who have come before me.
