Roadblocks or not (self-inflicted or otherwise), I'm glad to hear that you're at least still trying. There are many people that would give up at the slightest inconvenience or difficulty (myself being an example of that). I have a lot of appreciation for writers (and creators in general) because they do face big challenges, quite often challenges created by their own demons, and it's really cool to see someone overcome that.
Of course, there are some things written I wish never saw the light of day. The travesties of Twilight and 50 Shades being a great example of that. I actually read both of them to give them a benefit of a doubt (and also so I can openly dislike them without people saying I should actually read them first, because I have read them). I suppose I can sort of see the charm of those series for a teenage girl, but I can't even fathom why a grown woman could possibly get so obsessed with it. Each to their own, I suppose!
Am I getting way off-topic? I feel like I'm getting way off-topic.
