It's more that, in the same way I can't start Christmas shopping until the mood is upon me, I can't write until the muse is upon me. This doesn't mean I never write anything to a deadline or other imperative: I can pot-boil with the best; but, to produce quality stuff, I need to be ready and inspired. Luckily, so far, this happens pretty steadily and, once I am into writing a long piece/story/novel, the muse usually stays around for a while. But one day . . . Maybe . . . Terrible thought!
