We here at TVWriter™ just fucking love epiphanies. Especially about writing. More especially when they’re somebody else’s and that somebody else just gives them out to the world, angst-free. (Well, that somebody else may have felt some angst, but for us chickenshit wise men and women, insights like the one coming up in the following post are relatively free!)

I recently had quite a health ordeal, and for some reason it reminded me of writing and publishing. Probably because everything does. Bear with me on this one.
A month back, while in the early days of my new job, I bit into a piece of toast and felt a sharp pain in one of my molars. I didn’t think that much of it — I’ve had some jaw/tooth aches in the past that didn’t amount to much — and I went about my business, planning to check with my dentist if the pain didn’t go away. Then, a week later, I proceeded to get immensely sick, coming down with a 104.5 fever. (Spoiler: I survived!)
