But must one be inspired to write?
I get asked that question a lot. What if you only have a small window of time to capture words on paper and you just don't feel like it?
Surprisingly, that's where some of the best prose comes from, after you cross the panic threshold, that is. Once you start watching the minute hand tick away and hear the blank screen screaming accusations at you, anger kicks in. You know you've got to get something down so you don't feel like a complete loser and voila. That's when you can finally let it rip and pound out some really good writing.
Slightly psychotic, I grant you, but that's the work of a writer.
Don't worry, though. If even your anger is MIA, Write to Done did a fantastic post on ways to find inspiration for your writing. Check it out here.

Eerie, yet cool picture.
Just dropped in to say hello! So, Hello!
I like spelling it grey, too. Regardless of the lectures I get from crit partners about it ... :-)
no lectures from this part of the world
Not sure I like the association of British with dull, gloomy and creepy, but there you are.
Which is not to say the weather is not like that- just not all the time.
When I visited Britain way back when, I was there for 10 days. It only rained once. I was pleased.
See? We do have good weather sometimes and don't reserve all the rain for foreigners. Today though, I think the imminent spring has been forgotten.
2 degrees (centigrade) but feels much colder (especially when you have been outside for 6 hours), so jacket potato is going to be on the dinner menu methinks...
