Is Intimacy More Valuable Than Perfection?

I've noticed increasingly, as i get older, there's a shift in priorities and values. I write generally ten hours a day, but i've written as much as 23 hours straight. And you can't be perfect at a variety of useful and balanced or valuable and balanced things. You have to settle for maybe b plusat at a variety  but the question is, is the totality then more valuable than perfection along one axis? It depends on the situation. But, but obviously that's something tat you're continually toying with.
