"and I give myself permission to skip the parts that are boring to me. Why do I not care about this party where there were interesting people?" ya! i found consistency as a writer (for longer-form stuff, at least) when I stopped forcing myself to write scenes I didn't want to write, and instead asked myself: 'how can I creatively write around this?' maybe that will be a weakness in the long run, but for now, it feels good to boldly follow my fleeting interest and watch it develop into a style.
hell ya! every creative is bound to have weak spots. and I think when people compensate for their weaknesses, sometimes that is what makes the work unique. I always go back to bon iver - Justin's voice is pretty weak, but he compensates with autotune - and as a result it makes him original and fresh. we don't need to fix anything. we just have to stay inventive :)
