Something we ALL love but don’t discuss

That's because you're seeing the finished product. My first drafts would be condemned by both the Board of Housing and the WGA. ProWritingAid screams at me. "You used 'She' to start a sentence twenty times in a row. Are you going for a record?"
ProWritingAid does get a little bitchy, doesn't it?
 
I have the opposite issue. Recently, everything I write finally aligns with my own standards. It feels like I've undergone a rapid literary evolution, and I need to pinch myself to check if it is possible that less than a year ago, I started writing in a language that wasn't even my third.

Now, I face a challenging dilemma though: Should I cast pearls before swine?
Don’t put yourself out on our account.

Keep your pearls with your balls and not let anyone even see them, PLEASE!
 
I abhor that sort of drawing tutorial. Don't tell me 2 to 3 is just 'one more step.' That's 100% of what I can't do!

It's like
1. Draw wireframe
2. Rough out
3. ???
4. PROFIT!
Have you ever seen the one with the owl?

1. Draw two ovals
2. Draw the rest of the owl.

Brilliant. To be fair with writing we build it so slowly it is like we are doing that.

We ARE the wireframe.

Hmmmm...that depends. Are you practiced enough throwing a curve ball to toss them around that huge freakin' obstruction of ego twixt you and the swine? The other problem with that is when you spend all your time staring at the back side of your ego, you never actually see if there are swine waiting for your pearls. Hmmmmm...
 
Swine gorge on everything, even their own shit. Being among them for so long may cause one to forget that there are also humans out there.
Make your way out of that ankle deep pig sty 'cause there are bunch of us out here.

When we’re in that “all meh” funk, it’s really easy to feel discouraged, but then when you let time pass and come back to your story and realize...
I have been chugging along all month. I even turned to a Literotica machine, SusanJillParker who spits out a story every four days. Her only advice was "keep at it"

She's right, but I was hoping for some magic. We have to provide out own magic.
