Hurry Up and Wait—A test of patience

There’s a lot of waiting in writing.

During the first draft, you have to wait until the answers to the plot come to you. Most books don’t arrive fully formed, so you plod along, sometimes getting stuck and spinning your wheels until one day while you’re walking the dog—DING-DING-DING—the light bulb appears above your head, and you hurry home to scribble down the solution.

I see that as a good thing.
