When you make it all about the excuses, about the reasons to not write, it becomes a sort of snide, look-down-the-nose self-important aura of disdain to those who don’t dedicate themselves to always writing, always producing, always creating, because the idea is there at the core of it all that just doing more will result in doing better, an idea belied by a cultural landscape defined by massive content machines churning out meaningless crap, and at odds with the personal paralysis that comes from not saying something not out of inability but instead out of a fear of hurting people.
