I love "roasting sentences like marshmallows" and also the idea that if we don't write the stories, they go off in search of another writer. I think I saw Elizabeth Gilbert (? maybe ?) express something similar once, and it's an intriguing idea. Speaks to the power of just regularly showing up, doesn't it?
Yes it was Elizabeth Gilbert and also a decade or more before I’m sure I read something by Salman Rushdie about the same (maybe Harroon and the Sea of stories)

I liked that - not a 'brain fog' day, methinks.
Couldn’t have been or I had a thesaurus sat to hand
“but my lines are truncated,
ignore punctuation,
and split in all the
wrong places.” — I love the flow of this!
Thank you
