We don't wait until inspiration comes to us. We sit down and get the job done. I cringe when I hear folks talking about writing as "Art" (capital A) rather than "craft." Those folks are the ones who sit around cafes telling each other about the great idea they've come up with, but never seem to get it written. <BR/><BR/>I go about it totally as craft, just as any other craftsman.

Not every single thing one starts really falls together or is 'divinely inspired' Most of it is that little idea and then the work nurtring it, writing and re-writing to build it up. And even then it may not be right. It's immensely frustrating, but for me, when I'm able to put something up and enjoy it, the effort is all worth it.JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967035753670903358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-3807540480121795812007-10-19T11:15:00.000-04:002007-10-19T11:15:00.000-04:00Misery loves company and so I love this post.

I freeze or lose my train of thought or obsess over minutiae until I'm paralyzed.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16807329346289420791noreply@blogger.com
