Are you a workaholic?

Workaholics on Comedy Central

Do you know how many hours you've spent on your art? I keep a tally going, and I'd estimate that this book took over 500, but that's just butt-in-seat hours. It's hard to account for out all the hours I thought about it while walking, sleeping, grading, watching tv, or talking to friends. 

Let me know what you think about this chapter. Are you a workaholic or a playaholic? When did you serve your craft? Do you have ten thousand hours logged? What holds you back? 

What did your bad bosses (and bad jobs) teach you that can help your art?
