Was relieved to find I am not the only person who believes in peaks and troughs when it comes to writing / energy / inspiration.
Ben Schott, interviewed under Writers Bookshelf in January's Writing Magazine says:....I have a deep mistrust of the "writing schedules of famous authors" that clutter the web. I've never kept a daily word count, and don't really know why anyone would: writing comes in waves, you need to be ready to surf the peaks whenever they chance to appear.
He goes on to say; It's a cliché, but the only way to be a writer is to write. Writing is in no small part a craft - and every craftsman improves through industrious iteration. Imagine an aspiring violinist who didn't practice every day. Absurd.
