> Nobody "made" her do this

It's not a career, it's more like being in a band. Everyone who is visible doing it, looks like a success. We don't see the 1000 failures.

My advice with all creative pursuits is: don't. Put it to one side and create the next one. If it keeps nagging at you despite your attempts to leave it behind, then you can give it some attention. Only go all-in when you're left with no other choice.

I saw Tim Schafer at Double-Fine express similar thoughts about their Amnesia Fortnight game jams. Even if an idea seems great; don't force yourself to pursue it, take a step back and see if it pursues you.

Sounds like great advice, reminds me about how (all?) writers cannot help themselves but write.
