On Closer Inspection

Realization: I'm not lazy. Proof: On many projects, say this blog, I'll work till my eyes ache. Why do other projects - I have my book in mind - not attract the same energy? That's the useful question. Maybe I better break that work into vivid and satisfying steps. Maybe the more familiar work is easier because I unconsciously learned to break that work, but only that work, into the right size. For the book, could a step typically be a paragraph?
