Maybe for some, writing is a pleasant pastime. Maybe they even write well.

But my best work has always been a painful process. I believe, unwillingly and deep down, that creativity without pain is emptier somehow.

I hate writing organically. It isn't natural to me, I respond better with prompts so I usually work towards the conclusion in my brain and start at the end and make lots of outlines. It is horrible for STEM. FML.

It's a bit hard to write without C and H, so gotta get over it.
