Oh, I'm with you there. Last year I got done two NaNo's that month, and can write for hours at a time, letting days fall away behind me if I'm involved in the world that I'm writing about.
However, sometimes I get so distracted by making sure that I achieve a particular word count that I just can't relax and let the piece take me --- so it does begin to feel hard, and like work.
So yeah, I love to write, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. Oftentimes, when that happens, I need to step back and take a look at myself to discover why I'm having trouble.
I am more like the opposite of you, however -- I tend to prefer not to have things planned out/prepared when I get into a writing trance, heehee. But, to each their own. ^^
