writing is hard

[fannishliss]

Okay here is a thing.

When I write something in a "flow state" and it just pours out, that is when my writing ALWAYS gets the best reception.

When I LOVE  a project and when I pore over it and work for it, nada.  WHAT.  WHY.

So hey all you writers.... is it possible to incorporate the flow state into a daily writing ethic? if so how?

I have to say it's terribly frustrating for me as a writer to see work that I just "toss out" climb to the top while my darlings sink into obscurity.  Is this "kill your darlings"?  I hate that phrase.  WHY.

It's the same with drawing, I guess :(

Dang. They try to convince you with drawing that if you just perfect the technique it will always work!!! :P
