In My Experience, Depth Of Work Consists Of Two Components. The First Is Recklessness; The Second Is Discipline. Dionysian; Apollonian. Passion;reason.

Writers Think In Metaphors. Editors Work In Metaphors. A Great Reader Reads In Metaphors. All Are Continually Asking, "what Does This Represent? What Does It Stand For?" They Are Trying To Take Everything One Level Deeper. When They Get To That Level, They Will Try To Go Deeper Again.

I Was Keenly Conscious Of The Comrades-in-arms Who Had Fallen With Me. A Bond Surpassing By A Hundredfold That Which I Had Known In Life Bound Me To Them. I Felt A Sense Of Inexpressible Relief And Realized That I Had Feared, More Than Death, Separation From Them. I Apprehended That Excruciating War Survivor's Torment, The Sense Of Isolation And Self-betrayal Experienced By Those Who Had Elected To Cling Yet To Breath When Their Comrades Had Let Loose Their Grip.

But Nothing Really Clicked For Me Until I Gave Up Completely On Hitting The Overlap And Just Did What I Loved, Even When I Thought Nobody Else In The World Would Be Interested.
