I think I'm fuckin' losing it. It is by far the hardest thing I've done, and it isn't even very good. I think if we adopt "novel writing" as a form of punishment, the crime rate would plummet. "I'd sell crack, but if I got caught, I'd have to write a novel."

Has anyone else gone through this painful process?

not yet; but i have friends who have. one of them describes it as having an illness-- everything you do revolves around it.

sorry to hear it's lke that but yeah, you may have heard (was it balzac) "he works of genius are watered with tears"

he heh
