I find that the creative juices come and go but the real pain is doing it for other people and that seems to drive the procrastination and waning interest. I built up an observatory and starting publishing data/images and i wrote a lot, did a bunch of guides, shared everything and dealing with people sucked the life out of it. I can't imagine being a writer by trade and having to deal with the pressures of people trying to impose their views on the creative process. I'm selling everything off and restoring my sanity and going with a mobile set up and writing free posts and giving away everything for free and it like the weight of the world off my shoulders... I'd hope i could do it for a living and be creative and welcome people to the hobby - but i found it way too competitive and the community too challenging - in an odd challenging every decision you make kind of way... the best people i dealt with were teachers so i kept them around - but the worst people i dealt with were the hobbyist... they have no problems paying 5000 bucks to have crappy photos in their backyard as long as they do it but 100/bucks a year for access to 500gb of raw data from b1 skies and they do charge backs and file tickets if its not 100% perfect - even after they went and downloaded everything or sync'd the dropboxes... maybe i'll go self publish everything in a book ;)
