There are times when you struggle writing and you go back and read something you wrote that flowed perfectly the first time and you think, "How was that so easy then? Was I just better?" But maintain tenacity. Find new ways to approach the work. Because it's not always easy, but it gets there.

I went down a rabbit hole with Stan Ridgeway interviews and appreciated two quotes, separated by years:
"Some things take a while and other things come right out."
"I work on things long enough to get them right."
