U R right. it's a kind of excuse. Re- writing and struggling , hearing your brain smoking- that's the key.

I've noticed that um- writers think that its just a muse or being genius. But that's just 5% percent for me.

Uri, people don't realize how much writing is like a real job. You still have to show up and do it every day, even on the days you don't want to do it. If you wait until the "muse" hits you, you won't get any writing project completed.
