At @kepano’s suggestion, I recently wrote a manifesto.

I discovered I was not acting in accordance to my beliefs when it came to writing online.

I realized I was chasing something that was impossible—and meeting only burnout. I needed a change.

Tom, your cast made me think again of Louise De Salvo's book, "The Art of Slow Writing."

I like that she has a focus on process before product which also gels with what I've read from you, Tom, and others.

How is it that I haven't heard of this book until just now? Sounds like something I need to read, as I've always been a slow writer. Thanks for mentioning it. Adding it to my reading list.

Thanks, Mark. I’ll definitely check out that book. Looks right up my alley.
