| Can't speak for Jim, obviously, but as a creative-minded type with numerous "projects" kicking around in my head, I know that the single biggest obstacle to me producing anything is procrastination, and the reason I procrastinate is: in the back of my mind, I fear that when I actually sit down to write, what comes out will not be as good as what is in my mind. ("the beautiful reflection that came first") So instead I put it off, to think on it some more, until I get it perfect in my head, know exactly how its supposed to go and what its supposed to be, which almost never happens. I wouldn't be surprised if Jim goes through something like this. Honestly, I think many creators do, and the reason why some hacks have success is that they are able to blaze forward and produce piles and piles of product without getting hung up on if its any good. > > > > Does Always It's The War count for or against the > > arguement? > > I think that everyone is missing one big part of the > puzzle.
