On taking it easy on yourself


It occurred to me today that there was a period of a few years when I was younger where nearly everyday of my life, I would listen to a commercial with these words:

Honeycomb's big
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not small,
No, no, no.

So if I sometimes struggle during a key moment in a story to come up with a passage that seems sufficiently lyrical, I ought not to blame myself too much. Our society is meant to produce consumers, not artists.
