Oh the curse of perfection. Well said, as long as we ace actively practicing our craft, we're never wasting time. I have been feeling so liberated and I am not looking around for quick ways to shortcut my way to income. I keep telling myself that I am not motivated by money and never have been but lately I had a real insight into how I always took on crappy writing gigs for the quick buck to pay bills. Once I let that go, I felt so much freer. Now I can take time to write and not worry about beating my own record for words per day.
