This could also be why I found Impro to be the most directly useful in fiction writing attempts. It's a sort of kayfabe non-fiction simulation in your head that you then "report" as fiction. Anything more structured sorta kneecaps me. I'm 10x more pantser than plotter.

In my first flirtation with fiction ~20y ago (which I've since deleted from online), the flow-inducing mashup was first-person regular fiction + cookbooks + lyric books. I had segments with literal recipes and song fragments in them. Again not great, but it flowed.

Dunno about the rest of you, but for me flow is key. If the words don't flow at near the physical limit of typing speed and physical endurance, it's not working for me. Until I can unlock that flow rate, the writing lacks both quantity and quality of words. Minimum viable flow.

Ground-truthing this thread... I've written probably a couple of million words of non-fiction, and maybe 50k words of fiction in my life (publicly published that is). I've never directly made money off fiction though. Art of gig doesn't count since it is a nonfiction trojan horse
