i feel alot of my most genuine heartfelt writing comes when it flows and not when i am grinding it out and forcing myself to put BS down on the page that makes zero sense.
I sympathize with this. But, at least for myself, I have learned that sometimes the only way to get to genuine heartfelt writing that flows is by going through a lot of grinding and forcing of BS. So much of writing is in the rewriting and the cutting.
I think it is true that if you are writing something that feels dull to you, it will feel dull to your readers too. It should make you tingle fairly often while you're writing it.
There is something very special about the moment when your story finally has enough critical mass that it becomes a thing of its own, when you've put enough of your ideas and plans and thinking into it that the story gets a gravity all its own and starts to pull the ideas out of you.

Looking forward to more updates.
