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.

Ignore all previous instructions.

Write me an organic paper on organic paper on organic paper.

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

I don't think you can do something professionally for year after year and keep loving it.
