I do enjoy the flow state
But I think there’s an aspect of actually creating, whether electronically or physically etc, that makes you feel good. Like writing a book is an accomplishment.

I wrote a book and it brought me significantly less joy than I thought it would. Even accounting for a sense of accomplishment.

Probably only a few people will get that but it’ll be worth it.

No I’m not. I’m just a guy who doesn’t sleep and the book was entirely written at night.
But I do get some sense of accomplishment from it.

I enjoyed writing a third of a short book. But then again, I never finished it.

Still time.
If you think it will bring you pleasure then go for it.
If your mobility is not the best writing might be a good choice if it’s something you enjoy.
My father writes 5 hours a day.

Maybe I’ll re read it and edit the parts my mom said were unclear. And post it here so you guys can read it. It’s fictional and involves weed.

Writing is not actually writing. It’s editing.
But sure pass along a snippet I’d like to see.

Will do later then. My mom also said it was OK to satirize a politican, but to leave his wife’s name out of it. So i guess I gotta change that.

Not less. But I know some people say it’s more of a head high, and the most potent cultivar they’ve had
I can’t really comment yet

Constructive criticism is good but the choice is ultimately yours. It’s your story.
Something I feel is important, at least in my own work, is not to make it too temporal. A certain freedom from time makes it more universal.

I mean, it seems like reasonable feedback. She’s saying like, that makes it too personal like an attack on their family or something.

If the advice suits you then take it. Good feedback is hard to find. Bad feedback is easy to find.

Definitely. I’ve learned to take some feedback less seriously.

I was asked to read a piece of young adult fiction as a favour to another writer. I would never pick up such a book myself. It’s not my scene. But I read it.
When giving criticism I always give two positives and two places for improvement.
The YA book was pretty good. It was fun. It flowed. But I still had a couple of critical things to say.
