I’ve found that the more things depend on me delivering consistent and high-quality writing, the easier it is to create content. So, deadlines, an existing audience, or simply knowing that there will be payment after I am done, all help in their own ways. On the other hand, the more I delay getting on with it, the more difficult everything becomes.
I actually think that inspiration is an illusion. It’s all about getting the ball rolling. The earlier you start, the more speed you will pick up, and the easier it will be to smash through boundaries.
