The scholars’ greatest weakness: calling hesitation research ( 282)
This is true for writers, too. I have notes from a workshop by C. C. Humphreys about this. The first book, you want to get everything researched, and you read and read, study and copy notes. He says, quit researching, and get writing. Get the first draft, then go back and focus your research to fix and fill. If you don’t have a purpose to you research, it can go on forever. If you are researching for something specific, you find and move on.

So true. It’s just procrastination.
Though purposeful procrastination, and occasionally simply fear.
But I love research! Research always leads me to new ideas. I can see how a writer can stall himself with it, though.
Research is fun, but it’s better to write a draft, and leave blanks to fill later when you can research with a point, otherwise you get “OH LOOK! A squirrel!”
So true.
