I agree. This article was disappointing. I shared it because I think I wanted to talk about how disappointing it was.

I don't see much data in the article to support its conclusions, to be frank, just anecdotes and observations. Attempts at justifying those anecdotes, sure, but still. Not data.

I think that if you don't have a job as a writer and want to consider yourself a writer, you can't afford to procrastinate. Not on a weekly basis. If I haven't written anything in a week, am I still a writer? (Exceptions for hiatuses. I have taken hiatuses once or twice before. But then I'm not a writer. I'm on hiatus.)
