About this Quote

This quote by David Eddings talks to the difficulty of being an author. It is a feeling of frustration and aggravation when an author is tired by their own work. It is a sign that the work has actually not been successful and has actually reached a point where the writer can no longer stand to look at it. This is a difficult situation for any writer to be in, as it can be discouraging to put a lot effort into something and not have it turn out as wanted. It is a pointer that composing is a tough and often unforeseeable process, and that in some cases the very best thing to do is to take a step back and begin once again.
