We don't spend nearly enough time talking about this stuff. The Oedipal Mother, the Complex, fatal flaws, and mythic tragedies.
And I don't know why. Maybe because we have been conditioned to think it's taboo to talk about this stuff. Or maybe just because there aren't enough people writing about it.
This is the best thing I've read in a long time...
Really great sentiment!
I really enjoyed this essay and I’m sharing it with my workshopping group. Thank you so much.
Great advice that extends far beyond writing
what a wonderful piece of writing!

Such a great read.
Do it if you no longer care whether or not you’ll succeed because it’s that worth it.
Great advice.

Does it have to be painful? Why? How about joyful? Maybe it’s taking out of context.
