Every writing group has that person the keeps restarting their project, or abandoning a project when it gets hard, to start another one with another 'great' idea.

The upshot is, they don't want to do the hard part - continuity editing, developmental editing, hell, just finishing the dang thing. Even the boring chapters you didn't really have any idea what was going to go on there.

Writing, as an occupation, is a whole lotta schmoozing, attending conferences, volunteering, promoting. Maybe 1 month of writing a year, for 11 months of the hard stuff.

I have a buddy who says he always wanted to start a bar. I said, You like budgeting? Taxes? Hiring? Firing? Stocking? Remodeling? Promoting?

Nah; turns out, he just likes to hang out in bars.

The only reason you start a business is, because you like to run a business.

The only reason you become a writer is, because you like the business of writing.
