You don't. Writing is a job. You sit your butt in the chair and show up every day. You can't wait for the magic to happen. Inspiration isn't going to strike unless you place yourself in its path, and that's only going to happen if you're already working. Sorry, sometimes it's an absolute slog, but that's the truth and if you don't like it do something else that's a little less demanding.

Phil Dwyer:
Can I get your opinion? Having published my first book with some success, I am concerned about taking writing classes and workshops. I worry that the instructor will try to change my writing style into something that I am not comforable with. I always try to remind myself that writing is a hobby and a way to get my thoughts down. Thanks for your advise.
