When it comes to my writing, I write when I don’t want to. I do so not with hopes that I will work toward inspiration, but with acknowledgement that in the end, words on paper are only words on paper.
Neil Gaiman backs me up,
“And the weird thing is that six months later, or a year later, you’re going to look back and you’re not going to remember which scenes you wrote when you were inspired and which scenes you wrote because they had to be written.”
After writing, though, what you do with those words is an entirely different situation.
