The other day I read this quote by Jack London: "You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club."
I assume that means he had writer's block at times. I'm very grateful I haven't had it. I can think of so many things I want to write that I need another lifetime!
Once in a while, I have to admit, when a specific assignment for a non-fiction piece was due, I had inspiration, but the words kept hiding. I had to use a rake to find them in the bushes. But with fiction, my fingers can't type the paragraphs fast enough.
If you ever lack inspiration, let me know, and I'll send you a spark. Hopefully it will ignite and you won't need that club.
