Even non-gonzo writing depends on sufficient experiential input to drive output. You can tell when writing is running out of new input. It reads like overtheorizing stale input that’s already overextracted. The exception is writing about history.

I can see this in periods of my own writing. There’s one underway now. Another was 2014 or so. Pandemic = experiential starvation mode. You can consume more information passively but harder to have experiences.

My India trips have rarely been productive (even post-trip). It does wonders for my serotonin levels though, but everything else not so much. Hope yours goes well.
