You know, it's funny. When I'm hanging around (virtually or otherwise) with the adult SF community, all the advice seems to be about how to get practical, get down to business, be methodical, focus on craft and churning out pages.
Then I'll spend time in the children's book community, where it's all about writing from the heart, writing the books only you can write, trusting your own messy process, accepting that things can't be rushed, and so on.
The reality is probably that both these things have a place, but the dichotomy sometimes can give me a bit of mental whiplash. :-)
