sunshowerdandelion | 06.10.2025 (1): Trying To Write Seriously Again

I think this is the nature of my writing: Every so and often I have to shore it up, really slow down and look at it. Because when I don't it does tend to fall apart into strange quota-filling and inattention. Writing can't be done thoughtlessly. Today I wrote with more thought than I did because I was rested and feeling relatively even. I think the challenge will be to step up even more, to a sort of melancholic state I get where I can become a sort of conduit for my characters. That state takes a lot of work, but I can do it. Writing should never be easy for me.

Today I was tempted to put a bit of a leftie quote into Reisen's thoughts, but reasonably stopped myself. I'm glad her thoughts are very muddled.

I read Akutagawa today.
