Becoming a better writer, like becoming a better person, is about facing the consequences.

That rings true for me. And I suspect that there are a number of consequences I am balking at facing. Which is why I feel so stuck right now.

To borrow a phrase, yes, one must face consequences, but one must also beware getting hyponotized by the hard choices. I know I have a strong tendency towards feeling like, if one possible choice is harder for me, then it must be the right one--which, logically speaking, makes no sense at all.

Or, as I have taped to my monitor as a reminder: MORE COMPLICATED does not necessarily equal BETTER.

Which is to say, yes. Accepting and dealing with consequences, in whatever arena, should not equal martyrdom.
