It’s not like many writers get gold watches at the end of a long career, but have you ever stopped to think about how much work writers who stick with it put in? While those who specialize in manual labor might disagree, even a creative pursuit like writing can be exhausting.
Trouble is, an exhausted writer may have worked hard for months and seen no return on his labor. That’s where manual labor workers have a bit of an edge; they get paid for their efforts no matter what, more often than not. Not so with writers. We can go through a world of ideas without landing a single paying gig.
Maybe it’s just the Sunday night blues talking, though. Time to get some sleep soon.
