But when you just go in and sit down and say 'ok i have to write a whole song today' it becomes too mechanical and forced.
If you write your own songs, you most likely agree.

I feel the same way about the short stories I write. I can write nine stories in ten days, but that doesn't mean they'll be any good or even interesting at best.
