Oh, and DON’T fret! Instead, celebrate being able to write it so easily!

Thanks for the advice, Daphne. Three months is a good idea. I’ve already started work on another, so I can put my focus there instead of fretting about the other.

So nice that we have this in common. 🙂

True. It is very difficult to write about something if you feel no passion for the topic. That’s why it’s so important to find a reason to be passionate about whatever subject you need to write about.

You make a good point about military influence. That said, he was also a choir boy (which surprised me, but perhaps shouldn’t have). Anyway, he may well have been exposed to religious ideas in that venue.

What a good point, Marcelo! Just let me add a point for non-musicians: taking a break and doing SOMETHING ELSE is the best thing to do when you are stuck with your writing. If you don’t play the guitar, then go for a walk. Get away from your desk! The answer/solution will come much faster this way.

Although it’s hard to have the strength to do that, isn’t it?

A very good point. Thanks for sharing that insightful quote, Roger!

My view is that many writers have ADHD and coffee and cigarettes help them deal with that. I don’t think they help creativity but they may aid focus.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Kayelle!
