Perhaps LJ makes me so pretty that I live on junk food and never grow as a writer? So, like a pretty girl who always has at least 10 guys and 5 girls that give her positive feedback, because she's pretty (they may or may not be sincere - we all want to find value in pretty people), who never grows up or disciplined because they always receive positive affirmation...
(I go off on this tirade a lot)
Perhaps I face the same issue with writing. I don't write, but I LJ post. Perhaps the ability to just blop out my thoughts, firing from the hip, and get positive feedback gives me enough positive feedback that I never grow as a writer and actually create anything.

I also realize my urge to write is more for the reason I'm a horrible parent (of no one). I want to tell everyone what not to do, why, what to do, why, and how...I'm a wreck of a writer. So my urge is to write a self-help book? Ever met someone that reads self-help books? You don't want to help them, and you can't help them. So I'd have to write a story that was interesting to read, but tricks you into the lesson by showing events in such a way that the error is obvious, the solution is obvious.

Oh look, a bird...
