These are both clear instances of writers who allowed their passions outside of writing to get in the way of their craft, which is something I have struggled with in my own work.

Because while first and foremost I see myself as a writer and sexual healer, the fact is that I am also the proud owner of several iguanas.

And so, whether I am writing a piece of fiction set in Victorian England or in a village of priapic slime cannibals on the planet Kremlak 8, I will always feel that same urge to fill my work with long, pointless descriptions of basic iguana care. But no matter what my natural inclinations may be, I know that I must never compromise the integrity of any given piece of writing on account of my role as an iguana parent.

Once a project has begun to take on a life of its own, you must proceed with honesty and humility, eschewing all petty biases and superficial interests in order to tend to the needs of your writing without distraction, just as if it were an iguana with an upper respiratory infection… Speaking of which, when you do give your iguana a hot toddy, you should actually make sure that the water is more warm than hot.
