I feel so much of this. Have struggled in a similar way often. I dont really push myself to write enough these days. I have my spurts. Lately i sing in the sauna, a mix of chanting and noises getting warmed up, but by the end im weaving words and repeating harmonies. This gives me that creative fix…though it is lost in the ether, so no real proofing.
I worry about this new AI generation. Writing and proofreading with a robot assistant.
And then i realize im getting old and just repeating the ‘the kids today’ pattern.
So i shut up and go sing in the sauna again.
Thanks for the share!
