That is a fantastic post. I really like the part about waves and troughs. It seems so reasonable to me, especially the part about "variability within an established range."
I know that I've hit a point where I'm selling pretty consistently at the small press/semi-pro level, but I am also not nearly as happy with my current work.
My wife pointed out that it is because I'm stretching to be better, and so stories that are written at a semi-pro level, stories that I would have been happy with as little as a year ago, don't cut it with me anymore.
Nothing for it but to continue slogging along, trying to learn new tricks and skills while improving the ones I already have.
