I think everyone's version of "fun" is a little different when it comes to writing. For me, it's less about being in the zone, so to speak, and more about whether what I've written seems right for the story. I find it frustrating when I can't find my way into a scene or section.

In terms of self-indulgence, I tend to think of it as a story with a subject or image that I care a lot about, whether or not it's something anyone else will be interested in or get. Like all the library details in Every book, or the greenhouse in Fism. Something that makes me happy to think about and write about. But I've noticed that a number of readers seem to really like those aspects, so that also encourages me to lean into what I care about and really make it as rich as I can in any given story!
