Muses have No Sense of Time: Notes on the Writing Life
The muse is always late. It's her nature. She may come, or she may not, but I am there, faithful as the tides, sitting at my writing desk, as usual, every day. I can feel that wondrous rush of words lurking somewhere in the dark behind the mind.
But she's not there.
Where is she? Is she flirting with another writer at the other end of town? Did he perform some complex esoteric ritual to gain her favour?
She is certainly not here……
This book is a collection of articles about the highs and lows of writing. some were published, some were posted on my blog and some are new.
It is a writer’s guilty pleasure to talk about writing itself, about the mysterious process of creativity and about the daily struggle to climb the white mountain.
