Swinging from one extreme to another is easy i.e.: a furious burst of writing then the dreaded writers block. The compulsive editing until you start to lose sight of the original intent of your book.
Balance, when we were children we hopped on a see-saw opposite our friends and somehow we found a way to balance the boards even though we were different sizes and weight.
Here we are adults, life is more difficult everything is competing for our attention. We are competing for our own attention and the board swings up or down. Seeking balance. Seeking more than balance. Seeking peace, seeking a rest from the internal struggle brought upon by the external chaotic world.
We react to the external and the saw tips up or down.
What is the cure for finding balance? The cure for balance is quite simple: all things in moderation including moderation.
