I don't wait for inspiration: this is my job. My work. I have to sit down and do it every day, whether "the Muse" visits or not. Some days the words flow and I feel that rush of excitement when I discover something new. Other days are pure slog, and it's hard.

Not a question, but kudos to you for avoiding assigning a number to a writer's work. Many reviewers (unpublished themselves) take a superior and dismissive tone in their reviews which I always find a little grating. Ironically, as you are a published author I would tolerate a scathing review that you had written as someone who has been there, done that. Sorry....required question mark in 3...2....1....'?'
