Sometimes it's good to be reminded that writing is truly a 'job' -- not too much about it is glamorous or sexy. Yes, we writers have ideas (sometimes too many) and dreams of creating a good story that readers will fall in love with. But then there are those other times when procrastination, frustration and well, just all-around angst hit. And what happens then? Nothing. Nada. Rien. Zilch.
