I subscribe to the 'Please God keep me stimulated' school of writing, where I have to keep doing stuff all the time or my brain boils inside my skull.
Hence the endless stream of hot nonsense.
"Fluff" in the same way what collects under the sofa is fluff.

Yeah, I remember a writer saying basically that as an answer in an interview. The following sentences made it clear that his "how do you not (write so much)?" was a genuine question that he desperately wanted answered. (Stephen King, by contrast, is very much someone who actually set out to become an author, and his book On Writing (which was almost certainly titled with the intent of being used in a sentence that way) should be read by any looking to do the same)

Isn't there that clip of King and GRR Martin onstage somewhere and Martin's like "Don't you have some days when the words just don't come?" and King says "No". Dude pumps 'em out.
King's stories have some super-neat ideas - and what range! - but I personally find his writing style utterly unedifying. But meh. Probably some people find my style repulsive. Can't tug everyone off.
