I even got betrayed by a novel which was doing so well until it did the swerve, felt so betrayed, yet I must continue to consume slop

    I recommend watching something really dumb. Get some McGuyver going, hit up some Quantum Leap. Watch the A Team. Episodic tv shows whwre something happens each episode and they had to write and produce like 30 per season with 4 month breaks between seasons. When you’re on the same page as the writers in thinking it’s some silly dogshit you reach a certain nirvana, these are all people at work who are putting on a little show for a paycheck. Sometimes that’s more fun

      Whenever I’m in a creative slump this is my go-to. Watching the later seasons of a long running show where they ran out of ideas after 2-3 seasons is always really fun seeing the nonsense they put in, you can tell when they’re really stretching a premise of an episode to fit the run time.
