Motivating myself with pleasure over pressure
All my 52 years as journalist/nature writer i ve dealt with this process vs product situation

Some of it has simply to do with msking a living
No article no pay
I guess it s a balance of sorts no precise answer
And it s not just the paycheck I do need the gratification of publish and praise
Conclusion? Don t expect to sort it out
But don t stop trying to
