How do you get revved up to write?

Kind of mindblowing if I'm being honest.
Not only must you properly assess your opponents weaknesses, but you then use a style to fill those voids.
So not only are you saying you're an impeccable judge of others (lack of)stylez, but that other judges will "see" what you've done (whether they know it or not).
I mean props if you actually pull this off (no pun intended).. but it sounds kinda farfetched to me.. in that I'm surprised you don't just write a topical how you wanna write it in whatever style you feel at that moment, or For that piece..
U know There is a middle ground between "writing exactly what i wanna write how i wanna write it" vs. "Tayloring my scouting report and exploiting opponents' shortocmings for judges to see." lol

There is, sure, but the fun for me in writing is the winning. I write to win. I'm super competitive.

Right throughout the Winter Topical tourney, I messaged all of my opponents via PM once our verses were up and told them exactly where the battle would be won, and why I would win.
