The most consistent phenomenon I've noticed since taking a daily approach to writing--which means I at least plan something to write each day: what I want to write is often not what gets written.
As I've mentioned, currently I would like to write either a poem or the next Chris Harvey story. Not happening. But since writing anything is preferable to writing nothing, I go where the energy is.
I know this isn't always possible for writers under contract, but I would think a contract works much like a deadline. Something about it pushes you off in the right direction, so you don't have to overcome as much resistance.
