man, who even knows

So this is a post about writing.

( this part is under a cut because of tl;dr and some negativity )

I feel like I need a conclusion, but I don't have one. Have a question instead: how do you write? How is this a thing that happens? (Maybe that's a bit existential, but it's the one I'm really interested in - how do things make it from the mind to the page, as that is AWESOME and BIZARRE, but how does it work?)
