Publishing Kills the Weak and Weakens the Strong
Writing is hard work. Hurtful work. Deadly work.
Putting together a book is a long and painful process of recognition, writing and ongoing negotiation.
Binding a book on deadline kills the weak and weakens the strong because the book waits for no one and when crunch time hits you better be prepared to give and take some harsh strikes.
Because the publishing process is so brutal, few companies or people are able to do it on a regular basis. You're dealing with geographic constraints, human aesthetic, and a changing target audience.
Bringing a book to readers is the process of a miracle realized.

Writing books does take a lot out of you. Each page you write is a little part of your spirit you donate to readers.
Writing does takes bits of you and place them in ink on paper -- or bits in a browser. The trick is to keep enough of you intact so the writing process is always dynamic and exact. It can be a hard balancing game. Replenishing the spirit well is also vital.
