Your worst enemy as a writer - especially one working online a lot of the time - is obscurity.
The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.

The writer is a spiritual anarchist, as in the depth of his soul every man is. He is discontented with everything and everybody.

The medics generally see the worst of the worst. They see everything. They're working on their friends, and they're working on their enemy.

When I'm working with another writer, I tend to make a lot of effort. When I collaborate with a writer, I'm not interested in credit, but I'm feeding him stuff all the time that I feel is important to shaping the script.
If you refrain from judging your worst enemy, his children will come to your side. What more severe judgment could come upon an enemy than this?
Worst part of being a writer: having to tell my toddler that I can't play with her because I'm working. Keep in mind that working consists of me at home with a laptop on my lap sitting on the couch. It doesn't look like working. I don't have a hammer or anything.
