Writing
  Thought for the Writer's Day: Where
do Writers Find Inspiration?
I heard a good quote on the car radio today. In Britain,
my car radio dial is welded to BBC Radio 4; in the U.S.
I listen to National Public Radio (NPR) a lot.
I didn't have my tape recorder to hand, so I can't
tell you who we can attribute this quote to, but it's
too good to keep to myself:
"Inspiration is for amateurs."
A jobbing writer writes. Inspiration isn't necessarily
required. Even a weak writer can write well when the
muse grabs them, but journeyman writers can turn out
copy anytime.
