So the Pig says:
My mind has been intensely involved in a fantasy world. I have had to come up so many ideas that I can't see straight. It always makes me wonder what's going on when I end up in these situations. Why such urgency on a batch of cartoon scripts? Is the world going to end if I don't crank out another one?

I know I'm bitching... the good thing is that I really do like making a living by writing such things and getting paid for it. I've observed that there are a couple of types of writers -- one group is like Stephen King or Norman Mailer (and one of my writer friends). They have what I call "Diarrhea of the Keyboard" and it seems there are not enough words that can be written from their fertile brains. I've gathered that there are others (such as Kurt Vonnegut) who find the process rather painful and exhausting. I fall into the second category. Maybe it means I'm not a real writer, although if that's the case I wonder why people keep hiring me to write stuff.
