Writing, drawing, and all kinds of creative work sometimes feel like mining for gemstones. Heroic amounts of backbreaking digging with pickaxe, hammer, chisel, and shovel are needed for any artist to reach the depths where treasures may be found. Even so, there are no guarantees that any individual miner, no matter how dedicated and hard-working, would ever excavate a diamond of life-changing proportions — heroic effort is necessary but by no means sufficient.
