I read so often that I should write every day, to call myself a professional, but that’s really not true

I write nonfic (Historical research) for a living and still occasionally block!

[rowanryder]

ah, I spent so many years writing only nonfic (mostly health and psychology), and fiction was a bit of an indulgence. - I guess I've altered the balance he last couple of years!
It's great to be creative for a living though, isn't it?

It is!

I also write poetry, but that seems to come when it comes.

I like your style, your ritual, your way of writing. Seems like a good way to balance it all out.

Thanks Jeff, you're very kind. It works for me!

I think you're right; when I think of the years I spent 'fitting myself to someone else's ideas'...!
Doesn't bear thinking about!

Thanks for the insight ….you demonstrate that each artist has their own way of tickling the muse. You also demonstrate that you know yourself well enough to have figured out what works for you …an excellent lesson.
I find that often I'll need 'percolating time' for the subconscious to gather steam and get better acquainted with those inner voices.

Thank you; I just thought it was worth saying, because the world is full of 'experts' - and you're right - finding our own way is best
