Hey, hey - I'm utterly convinced my favorite authors not only roll out of bed perfectly presentable but also have the entire timeline of their worlds etched in their infallible memories, down to the last mundane detail like how many blades of grass their MC has in their yard.
This talk of crap is merely humbleness and modesty, for 'lo, they are mighty, mighty people and deserving of their pedestals.
Granted, it's easier to convince myself when I'm not trying to do my own writing, but really, I have just not attained my own semi-divine status yet and once I get that first book polished just right, I too will be mighty mighty . . .
