What is the aim or goal of your writing: Author says "I wish I had a better work ethic; what I do have is trust in my writing process. There seems to be an ebb and flow to it, an inbreathing or gathering time that probably looks a lot like loafing to most people. I try not to judge myself during those inactive times"
