My friend Jo sent this interesting tidbit to me during our conversation about how-to books on writing. As he said, if nothing else, watch the first five minutes. Robert McKee talks about what he sees as the two types of writers.

And I have, again, fallen into a trap where I only post long essays to my
blog that take days or longer to write. Oh, so many drafts that really go
nowhere...
