On some days, I just like to sit down and write new material, information that perhaps has been churning around in my head for some time, but I have not yet got around to putting it down. For example, for a month or two now, I have been thinking of writing a popular science book on "Space Weather". So I have been collecting my thoughts together and one day in the new year, the temptation may get the better of me and I'll just start writing just for the joy it gives me. The nearest I would get to writer's block would occur on the day's I don't feel particularly like writing and on those days I would systematically work through my material checking facts and rewriting poorly written material.(less)
