1. I've never taken any pleasure in brainstorming and pitching ideas to editors, and every occasion where I've been published has been an anticlimax. Sometimes I wish I had the psychological constitution to subsist in that world, but I clearly don't and and pretending that I might has never made me happy. That said, I always got the impression that freelancing, if you've got the connections and are built for it, must be exhilarating—at least for a while.
The few times I've cold-emailed someone and got a piece published from it I felt like the baddest dude on earth, but those hits were few and far between. Of all the bands that have occupied the coveted 'worst rock band' role in my lifetime, Imagine Dragons are by far the worst.

They are worse than Matchbox 20 and they are worse than Creed, and you know I don't say this lightly.
