In some ways writing is a bit like programming – for a piece of software, 
database, website etc.



You write chunks of code. The good bits get put into a library for reuse, but 
even then they can outstay their welcome and are culled – sometimes ruthlessly.



Enjoyment is seeing something work as planned. Being somewhat obsessive about 
getting it right, and having a professionalism to produce your best is one 
thing. Getting emotionally attached is another.



Find yourself doing that and your work – life balance is a bit skew-whiff as 
they say over here. Time to step away from the keyboard...



...I don’t spend 30yrs writing code for the same project, though it feels like 
it sometimes!
