Breckenridge Hood, you are correct. We, as writers, will *always* worry about our projects. The trope of the anxious neurotic writer exists for a reason! What Max articulates - and how brusquely he does it - is a good reminder about your last point: get back to writing.

If you live in Breckenridge, good for you! I lived in Aspen (1978-1980). Been to festivals in Telluride many times. Love Colorado!
