That thing Shakespeare wrote about children in King Lear...

The thing with writing - the thing that gets me is how much your work hates you. It absolutely hates your guts. It had no thought or concern about you what so ever. You spend, days, months, sometimes, more times than not, fucking years creating, moulding, shaping this thing into something that you are happy with, something you can sell, read, do whatever ever it is that you will do with it (and i am quite certain this applies to anything of creative/artistic merit)... basically you spend an inordinate amount of time through your love and affection, blood and sweat at it... then you are tired, clearly and obviously tired. You need a rest others it will get stagnent, loose its original purpose and become something other than you wanted it to be. The you go back to it, you are looking forward to going back to this world you have created, going back and finishing it, tidying it up. And what does it do to you, it fucking spits in your face, calls you a wanker, kicks dirt in your eyes, turns into a thankless fucking child.

In short, went back to carry on with episode two after having a break from it and it was the biggest pile of shit i have ever witnessed.
