Thanks for writing this. I relate to much of this. I have for a long time been resentful of all the writing time I’ve lost -- why did I study what I studied in college instead of writing, like I really wanted? etc. and similar resentments. I’ve adjusted my schedule recently and am now writing every day and enjoying the satisfaction I feel for having honored my creative needs. It will, in the end, make me better for those around me, too. Just gotta keep it a regular, if not daily, practice.
