Ever heard this expression? "Nine women can't make a baby in one month." You're over-simplifying things to an extraordinary degree. People need rest, recreation, relaxation to be creative. On the other hand, for some of us, lack of sleep, too many carbs and caffeine have a tendency to make us altogether *too* creative. But our brains are wired a bit differently from most. Speaking totally from personal experience, I absolutely know that I'm less effective if I try to put in long hours, day after day. And if I let the spiritual part of my life slide, I'm less effective at everything. You think I'm kidding myself about my faith; I think you're kidding yourself about the nature of human beings. I'm not sure there much chance we'll persuade each other to believe otherwise. But I have faith that you may. ;-) Nick _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
