You have sufficient prose that isn't shit, so it seems to me you've found your voice on at least some occasions.
My first instinct--and this is purely subjective, so take it for every penny you paid for it--is that your, hm, less felicitous offerings have felt forced, for lack of a better word. The words don't flow naturally; they feel sort of jammed together in a Frankensteinian fashion, and the sentences limp like a hobbled horse. In your better efforts, that's not the case. Quite the opposite, in fact.
... I think I started this comment with the intent of disagreeing with your hypothesis, but I seem to have ended up in agreement. Neat.
We discussed this today. If I don't force it, I don't do it. I think the Frankenstein efforts you describe come from lack of using those writing muscles, plus lack of inspiration/passion. Also, lacking talent. But that's another ramble.
I just need to stick to one project, and become consistent. It's just... I don't know, nothing's ever been consistent with me.
Ack. Rambling. And I haven't even had any of your drug juice today.
I've known you for a many a year now and I can say you are rather consistent. Ever since we've met you've been bitching about not finishing projects, wanting to write a script and how bad wrestling has gotten. So, at least you are consistent in your inconsistency.

Except you only complain to me about wrestling. Whereas I complain to the world.
