I love the question. Writing, like sex, when done right feels liberating, important and needed. Everything else dissapear. Writing, like sex, when done wrong, feels forced, clunky and cringe. In both cases trying to enjoy it rather than focusing on an external perfomance review is good advice. In both cases there can be huge pleasure both in the shared experience and in doing it alone, just for yourself.

Writing and sex: to stand naked at the crossroads and to recognize that the unknown is hot, that possibility is sexy. And when we imagine the transformation from body to page, we understand that to desire and to write are one and the same.
