The author's comments:

I guess this is just about how sometimes when I start to write, I just can't really get into a rhythm and it doesn't sound like I want it to. That's the true frustration of writing for me.

That sounds really cool, thanks for the tip SparrowSun! The squirrel queen sounds epic, I would love to check it out if you ever post it or publish it.
