Only this time, he brought a friend.

I suppose it would depend upon why you write in the first place. Many of my writer friends have heard me say I don't write for profit, i profit from writing. They laugh, I laugh, but I can't be any more serious than this. I learn from writing. If i make a couple f bucks on the side, great.
As a writer I can create pictures and worlds which transport people away from their current troubles even if only for a moment. Being visually impaired allows me more time to spend on my writing without distractions such as work holding me back.

There are many people more qualified than I to answer this question, but we all seem to have our own ideas about it. I have always said I don't need much to inspire me. I used to carry a notebook with me everywhere, now I think people call them writing journals. Some use recording devices or their phones.
Just write and keep writing until you have nothing left. When it is finished then go back and do the rest.

I see this question a lot in various forms. I write when I am inspired to. I never try to force it. That's when the 'block' sets in. Some days as soon as I peel myself out of bed I am inspired and before I do anything I write until there is nothing left in the tank, then I walk away. Every so often I will go back to it to see if I 'feel' the inspiration to continue it. Hours, days, and weeks might pass, but I always am re-inspired.
So my advice, write when inspired and don't force it. The more you try to force it the harder it will be to get or be inspired.

At times it seems like there is nothing that I am not working on. I am venturing out of my comfort zone in poetry to fiction.
I have a growing collection of short stories which I am in the process of selecting to fill the spaces between the covers of my first book of short stories. I have a title for it but will share in due time.
I have a memoir waiting for a good edit (which seems beyond the ability of my eyesight(
I have a few other working projects which haven't seen the light of day for some time.

I blame this on my grade 9 English teacher Mr. Hollingsworth at Woodroffe High School in Ottawa.

The Year to Remember and A Year to Forget are my most recent works. Both books are the accumulation of poems written in 2020. This was a year we should remember for many reasons, but it is also a year worthy of forgetting for many other reasons.
I guess the famous quote, "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" played a part in the title creation. The poems inside sprang up from my daily life, living in a small town.
