I'm so glad you talked about this. It's often seen as a subject that only commercially driven writers would want to talk about. As if it were beneath a true creative to think about. But I think most do and just don't say, or are scared to say...afraid how they'll be perceived. I'm like you. I think the two go hand in hand.
