It seems to me that most of the great artists had to suffer in some form.
It is a commonality that separates them from the rest.
Perhaps this is what you must suffer to be the great writer that you are..

Whilst I would not wish this condition on anyone, I say this to perhaps allow you to view the condition differently, and also yourself.

The episodes are your creativeness whirring away and getting you set up for more wonderful writing. And you are an artist like so many before you dong your best to work it all through.

But unlike those other artists, you have us here at Steemit to help you when it gets tough. :-)

So on the 'bad' days, don't fret. just let it work its way through knowing that on the other side you will still be awesome, still be talented and still be cherished by all of here on Steemit.
