it's an unhealthy focus.

Right. I see.

Because *I* don't write, I just type, and the texts are always better. My own self-indulgent crap comes from *me*; pure muse doesn't. It just flows. It's like we mean the exact opposites.

Okay, switch the words then. I probably shouldn't ever use the word 'muse' because I mistrust it. I agree that the best writing comes from that sensation of 'just typing'; which is why people who say "you just have to keep on doing it, work harder" either don't know what they're talking about, or write very differently than I do. Probably the latter.

What I meant is angst, torture; *contents* I don't enjoy writing, that Cat doesn't enjoy reading.

I see. Yes, I thought you meant... poor quality. (That which I have never seen from you.) Is it just... subjectively difficult for you and Cat, because of its nature, or something that would make any reader cringe? If it's just a subjective thing, I can't see that it's bad in any wider sense: other readers might appreciate it and enjoy its darkness.

Do you really actively want to do something else, or are you just reacting viscerally to the painfulness of the theme?
