I've always felt that forced writing makes for a more stale sound to the story. Like the writer had no passion for what he/she was putting out. So I wouldn't necessarily say that it's bad that you're not writing, just that you should write when the spark hits you and write what you sincerely feel is quality material. That way, when you do write, you feel like you've accomplished something worthwhile. So... if you have a morning where you find that you simply don't know what to write, and don't know where to go with something, don't feel bad. But do carry a small notebook with you to work or something, because you may find that writer's block suddenly drop off with an amazing brainstorm and you don't want to lose that. Those are usually the most rewarding ideas for any story. ^_^ I don’t know. I’ve always felt that forced writing makes for a more stale sound to the story.
