Writers who can do that generally have their 10k+ hours of practice. Sometimes it’s not easy for us either. Read some stuff that is in the voice you need to write in. Then just write down a bunch of stuff. Don’t edit yourself at the beginning. Write it down even of it’s dumb. Edit once you’ve got a lot of options It’ll get there.

Just start writing. Even if they suck. Eventually they will start sucking a little less. It’s not “easy” it’s practice

Don’t write to the image. The client will want to change it the day before it goes live anyways

The first rule of overemployment is dont talk about overemployment to anyone outside your house. :). Second: always protect the main job. Third: As the main job always has the priority, the Second and third jobs must preferably be contract gigs with not too many meetings everyday. Remember: another day, another dollar.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
