I just write something I find worthy my time and effort. Something that's fun, fresh and probably meaningful. I don't really use much common sense and logic while I'm at it. I just focus on the process and try to enjoy the ride while it lasts.
pretty long...

Even if it made no sense, I just have to remember--surrealism exists.
I don't really force it and just go at my own pace. I don't like to think as writing as a job. To me, it's more of a fun hobby. I can even equate it to games where I have a ton of freedom on how to go around it.
I find it better to just screw around and add random ideas, making a stockpile of some sort. I could always edit and add stuff later. As the result, I often come across some fun ideas even if I didn't really have writing on my mind. I love to imagine lots of ideas and scenarios. My dreams also tend to be on the adventurous side, I don't really try to control it--I just go with the flow and only when things go the way I didn't want, I 'correct' stuff.
I think that writing has a lot to do with experience. By having lots of them, or having ways to accumulate many kinds of meaningful experiences on your own--be it in real life, fictional as in your imagination, through your dreams, etc. Or it could also be from the stories, articles, textbooks--many forms of entertainment and information is readily available nowadays. I also find it really nice to communicate and express my ideas, through the discord server I am in, for example. Being able to share my ideas with others was a nice experience in itself, that helps me in writing.
Most of my blocks came from starting a story format that actually doesn't mesh well with how I write. It makes me feel rather stressed out. I didn't enjoy it, I just wanna finish it quick and write something else. Then after a while, I kinda give up on prioritizing a novel.
It doesn't really matter much, as compared to writing in a way that makes me enjoy it the most. Nowadays, I didn't really stress myself out trying to write a chapter. I'm happy with the way things are going. If it's really the thing I can end up doing, so be it. It may be too early to say whether I can actually start a new novel, but well--I don't think of much about it anymore.
I no longer pay any attention to how well written it was, or how much thought was poured in to make it presentable.
I just want to always have fun while I'm at it. Even if no one likes it--fine. I can no longer bother with pushing the boundaries or anything like that, I guess.
Being a Good or Bad Author, in the end, is just a subjective thing that limits me. I have my own standard, they have theirs. So I was just like, you do you man. I just chill, write, and enjoy life. I guess that's how it goes for me.
