I once had a friend tell me they only write when they are inspired. I asked how much they'd written. "Five pages," he told me. I was impressed. "In three years."
Well, unfortunately that is how it is. It's rare to be naturally inspired (it happens, but rare). To set the mood for me, I like a rainy morning at about 3:00 AM when everyone is still asleep. I'll crack a window to a cool spring breeze. While I don't live in the city, I remember loving to look out over Loring Park in Minneapolis as the rain fell through the streetlamps, and the occasional car splashed puddles onto the sidewalk, and a casual walker skipped over cement cracks.
