Ok this one knocked me out a bit. I think you're onto something important here. When I think back to when I've been stuck (in writing, in life, whatever), I think this dynamic you're pointing to has played a part in it. It's so cool you're flexing your muscles and tolerances around this by running this experiment. I want to play around with awareness of structure and freedom in my own writing process. Maybe that will help me unstick in other places too!
I'd love to chat about this more (I'll reach out). I'm curious that it resonated with you.
I sometimes wonder if embracing extremes might be part of it - like really getting into both unstructured and structured states/tools etc... rather than trying to find some sensible middle ground. Also - to let the unstructured parts be frustrated by structure without needing to dismantle it, maybe more of a truce between the parts that says yes to the extremes.
I'd like to suggest an alternate and vastly superior idea - it's ALWAYS time for a database.
Done.
🤣 It probably is!
