Turns out the day I posted this it was a good litmus test of- I was getting a headache while writing!! So hopefully I can slowly plug away at these during work breaks.
I do think there's a certain specialness to picking out specific questions that I enjoy, like, a priority of what people would want to hear or react to. And sometimes when I do the big text blocks it ends up feeling more like I'm releasing it to a void instead of anything back-and-forth.
It can definitely be, like... rough, especially when I haven't been able to maintain tagging, to still want that sort of character interaction back and forth, if that makes sense.
Then again too much back-and-forth and I've gotten all the dopamine and my brain goes "well now you don't gotta tag" and like... nope, that's not it either, brain.
