a lot of writing is just patiently waiting and observing for an idea or story to synthesize 

this is hard to do with a grind set mindset. It’s more like bird watching and no one looks to the best bird watchers for productivity advice

This is exactly why writing is slow. If you only measure time spent hammering out words, you’re missing most of it.

My writing productivity is odd. I’ll either speed-type my every thought as fast as I can to get it on paper, or I’ll be very intentional about every word I type. Sometimes I write every day. Sometimes I don’t write for weeks. I can’t force my writings, or it becomes a chore.
