Ha, a lot of these match mine, both the easy and the hard, with the exception of research. For me that tends to feel like a boring chore that I procrastinate on, but then when I start it I find that hours later I know a lot about how to navigate the Bow Back rivers (this happened to me this evening) even though I'd found out the answer to my question in the first five minutes.

What do you mean by finding shitty first drafts hard?
