It's nice to see from the other comments that it is, indeed, a common mindset and that it should be discredited whenever possible. I have been feeling quite unproductive lately, writing-wise, because I started a new story that's an alternate history, and the amount of research I'm having to do is unbelievable. Then I keep getting a snarky voice in my head telling me that research is just an excuse for not spending time REALLY writing. It is a tough battle between putting words on page and having to stop ever three sentences to find out when post office boxes became a thing or what parts of Boston would have had electricity at the turn of the century. feh. o.O
