How Is That A Bad Thing?

     This weekend I attended a writers' seminar organized by a member of my writers group, Dr. Trisha Petty, of Antebellum Productions and Cellophane Ministries. My friend Mary Ann was sitting next to me and said exactly what I was thinking; that the problem with any kind of writing seminar, workshop, or conference is that they never fail to teach you something.
     You're wondering how that is a bad thing. The trouble with learning something new is that you want to apply it to all your writing, especially your WIP.
     How is that a bad thing? It makes you want to go home and revise, reorganize, possibly even start over with whatever your current project is, incorporating whatever new concept or skill you have discovered.
     The problem with that is the amount of work it creates. You can't resist the urge to use what you have learned improve your writing, no matter how much time, energy and hard work it will involve.
    Can you still not see what's wrong with that?
     I guess I can't either.
