If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? I remembered to pack my paintbrushes to take to the campground for art. This is actually progress.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Why is it so hard to write smut? It used to be EASY to write PWP and now I struggle.

Go you! Packing the right things is also important ♥ You mean smut becomes easy to write at some point? That's such great news!

I am a weird person in that once upon a time, smut was really easy to write. Like... I started writing smut when I was 18 and when I was around 45 or so... like a year ago... smut suddenly became hard to write. I think I've just written too much of it.

On the other hand, I spent those 27 years struggling to learn to write descriptions, plots, and fights... I still can't write a physical fight at all well.

Advice from a professional author friend: write sex scenes like they are battles. Me, I try to write battles as if they are sex scenes.

And having the paintbrushes was a very good thing this (Saturday) morning.
