Well, I had been thinking that I haven’t been getting much writing done, but in fact, it is progressing at a reasonable pace overall – about 17,500 words done now. Maybe I could have done more by now, but I doubt it. Creativity cannot be forced without becoming mediocre, I think. To do my best, I must a) keep at it; and at the same time, b) not over-do it.

Like much of life, the trick is finding the right balance… the middle way.
