Well there’s a lot to that question but for me I’m not a sanguine. I’m melancholic, quiet, and I don’t talk to people easy. I’m ex military, work construction, and grew up farming. I still work a full time job, and am raising three kids with my wife and through growing up in life, I’ve found my need for writing. Without all that, I don’t think I’d be here. I do agree the pressure/need to write is definitely there and I get disgruntled if I don’t work both my mind and body on a regular basis.
what resonates is the polarization you describe. the obsessiveness. the comparison to jazz. these qualities are what literary stylists and critics cannot account for, but true readers can feel it. that calling and that struggle give the combinations of words an internal tension that can not be duplicated. it's why I'm not afraid of AI or plagiarism.
Agreed! It’s interesting to see other writer’s paths. Mine is a lot different than this.

How does it look like to you? 🤍
what a lovely description of writing!
Thank you ☺️ which part you resonate most? Because everyone’s journey is private and different. I like to tune-in with other writers
Many are trying to find why I used to be different.
Others attempt to find why I’m like that today. Who I am or who I was.
Searches without essence. The profit is that I was constantly escaping them.
Who were you trying to escape? People who wanted to confine you in boxes or your past identities?
I come alone and I leave alone. Everyone.
J, you are indeed a writer. Clear and eloquent. I enjoyed it, and learned it.
Apologies for my late reply. Thank you so much ☺️
No apologies, we all have a life.

Also calm, careful and cautious :)
Absolutely 😇

AI can't articulate the internal tension and the struggle. And people who use AI to write are too lazy to get there :)
