"If I have to rely on binges for my creativity, how creative am I? How much in control am I?" (144).
I really loved this quote that Boice used from one of his writers. After reading this question, I really gave it some thought and it changed my perspective. I wouldn't be in control, nor very creative. I remember those days when I would binge write and I would be so happy that I was writing and writing so much, but then I wouldn't write again for a while. I had no control over it. It makes sense now why BDS helps to keep things under control because you're keeping writing in moderation. Everything in moderation.
I also liked that the concept of moderate happiness came up again, as it did in the first reading. Being happy really is important for all that we do, and any task, including writing, will be done significantly better if we are in this state of mind instead of working under a time constraint.
