Thank you for the mention! I guess what matters to me is whether the voice feels honest. If the words are trite, and the arguments superfluous, it feels like the writer has not tried to plumb the depths of their being. It doesn't take very long to get a feeling of "been there, read that" and I'm attuned to that sense of boredom in me.
As writers (as I suspect is often also the case for artists) you will feel some days that all you are doing is re-inventing the wheel, until you remember that it's not the thing that defines you but what you then do with it that creates the magic :D I think if asked why work like yours is so compelling is that is really clear you are fully committed to the journey. If you get bored, I'm betting I'd know as well quite quickly.
I'm really hoping you don't get bored any time soon <3
