I am obsessed with this advice — it puts into words *exactly* what I feel when my writing works. A flow state, an arousal process, erotic energy…and what I feel when it’s not working! Mechanical, perfectionistic, too intellectual, not bodily enough. THANK YOU for this

I never thought of the writing process this way... and yet it's so accurate, it's a moment where the sense flow and are in tuned with your soul. It's a sensual experience

If the writer is ugly they can always admire *your* bum. 🌝

"ugly" is something that happens in the mind of the one who watches or judges. It's not linked to an existing reality because it's only an opinion.

... As a sidenote to your joke 😉 ...
