That's really good advice, though as quite a newbie on here (as a writer - I've been a reader for years) I'm enjoying diving into every topic I find and giving it a try. I'll reach the point where I need to pull back a bit - when that only-24-hours-in-a-day thing hits - and I'll remember these words and be organised about focussing my reading.
Oh and thanks also for the comment about MuddyUm / Slackjaw - it made me laugh.
