It got truly bizarre in India writing that 100k in two weeks. At some points I was typing as I was thinking, and I would start a sentence not knowing where it was going to finish, only to see a key insight appear lol.
It was an uncanny kind of feeling. If one word.. flow?

I have an annoying block in that I can tweet 50 tweets in an hour if I want, without thinking, but I can't bring myself to finish two pages if I'm not working very hard.
Most of the time, anyway.

If I start something, I'll sit there and write for 16 hours and finish it.
But it happens so infrequently. Maybe three times in the last 6 months?

Nope. I've tried meditation a few times. I like it even! But I seem to really struggle making it a habit.

Sounds like you should try some really basic vipassana.
Then again, maybe you really shouldn't...
You'd be surprised what rears its head.

Between eight years with my wonderful, highly introspective, wife, and a lifetime of candor from my dad, I'd be surprised if there was much left to rear its head tbh. More to gain than lose, anyway! Cheers.

Then it may just be a simple case of those things known as "bad habits". ;)

Allegedly, academics are trained into this kind of monomanic focus from early in their careers.
I wouldn't know. I'm not an academic.

Fair point.
The way I phrased it, it's a fallacy.
