*nod* I also have to crawl over huge mental boulders of "I'm wasting time / so and so whom I respect doesn't like this kind of story/I should wash the dishes instead / I SUCK I SUCK I SUCK" every time I write. Poisonous "advice" like the Salon piece is one more boulder; sensible encouragement like the LA Times piece is a lever to wedge the boulders back out of the way.
