I do and I don’t.
I’m writing something now (or not – hence I’m here), that’s like pulling teeth. It’s actually hurting my brain. Two pages of hell.
For me the first draft of anything is often more of a brainstorming session and I have to avoid getting bogged down in editing and overthinking and try to get in my ‘just let it go’ zone. It can feel like dredging my brain for coherant thoughts that say what I need to say. Once the ideas are down in some semblance of shape – it becomes more pleasurable.
At other times, the words flow like music and I love it.
So it depends what I’m writing, its purpose and the audience.
And now – back to my hell.
