I’m also learning that fast doesn’t always mean better. It rarely does in other facets of life — why would writing be any different? I suppose it’s the satisfaction of getting something “done” so we have something to show, and perhaps sell… but at what cost? This is what I struggle with. Thanks for sharing!
This is exactly what I'm dealing with right now! After three+ years of writing feverishly the way you described, I'm taking a break and trying to figure out to restructure everything. The problem with brilliance is that it craves acknowledgement, good to know that I'm not alone 😅

What's the cost is exactly right. And is it worth it...
"You have something here, but it’s not fully baked.” A book is not a cake!....Why do they use this weird and coded language?
I'll admit that I was like that trying to start out, but rejections told me they weren't ready for me yet. Will they ever be?
They may never be, David. But if you are, it really doesn't matter. The story will find a way.
