Hmph! Barumph! PThhhhhhhhhht!<br /><br />But I also AGREE that the muse will come and go, so while it is LOVELY to write while he dances like I like, it is far more important to be able to keep at it when he takes those long vacations (he is a slut, after all, and inclined to disappear for months on end... can't give up productivity on HIS timetable!)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-37845655532836157622010-07-21T00:07:35.100+01:002010-07-21T00:07:35.100+01:00I wish I could write on a whim about anything that...I wish I could write on a whim about anything that pops into my head. I think my problem is that I am too analytical and critical when it comes to my own writing. I have to overplan and continually revise/ edit as I go along. It is no wonder that I have yet to finish one of my many works in progress.<br /><br />Great post!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05994415353101258592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-64081138760073042332010-07-20T21:29:49.638+01:002010-07-20T21:29:49.638+01:00I absolutely agree.

A wise man once said (actually, it was my dad) "If I had been waiting for inspiration to strike, I wouldn't have got anything done!" (It might not be the most impressive of quotes, but the meaning is key - Buzzie might never find you so go get your work done anyway!)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5936402483709284852.post-73533028579701226202010-07-20T14:13:49.032+01:002010-07-20T14:13:49.032+01:00Unfdinished??

I wish I was more tenacious, but because I am a natural ditherer, it takes a lot for me to knuckle down and just get on with it. This is why I have so many unfdinished projects. *sighs*Amber T.

I've had 'rambling', 'odd', and 'insane' used in the past, so 'quirky' is a step up. *snorts* For me, it's not really the starting I have a problem with, it's finishing the darn things. I've more half-done stories on various hard drives than I have completed stories.Amber T.
