Inspiration

For me creativity is something that comes in waves.  I cannot control it.  Perhaps it is driven by the moon or gravity.  I understand some writers will force themselves to sit at a computer/typewriter for periods of time. The thought is to treat writing as you would any other job and the writing will become more of a habit.  Guess what; writing is not like any other job I have ever had.  I need inspiration i.e. music inspires me, the quiet side porch at my house, or back patio.  However, I willingly admit a commitment to a time of day or a certain amount of time has been helpful.
