Some people say that fighting your way through a first draft is the best thing to do when you're bored by your writing, but Charlie Jane Anders says you just need to shake things up: "Boredom, in fact, means that you’re acknowledging a need to improve, and find ways to at least amuse yourself more. And if you’re not amusing yourself, then what are you even doing? You have a right to be entertained by your own writing, and you should claim that right with both hands."
