I've recently started a practice of writing my novel for an hour first thing in the morning, and it's truly feeling like a sweet escape that sets me up so well for the day. Whatever else I need to tackle that day, I've spent time in my own little fantasy world and that's at least one beautiful thing.

To me the best way to make writing feel sweet again is to take a break, after a while I want nothing more than to write again.

I completely agree! Taking a break can also make revisions feel so much easier to tackle.

I see my scenes play out like a movie in my mind. Sometimes in slow motion. I consciously think of the senses and what I can see in my minds movie. I can see the detail much like a futuristic 3D CSI model I can move around in. It's quite fun to direct your own story lol.
