good question, the mystery of how a committed scientist ends up being a Druid!

We have the same problem with spiritual practice, sometimes you just can't do it, so it is best to give up and come back refreshed and ready. You can't force it but you do need to be disciplined enough to get back to it.

It is a great feeling to actually produce something that you can hold in your hand and say 'I did that'.

Write, get the material down, you can always edit it afterwards but you have to have something to work with first. You will be surprised at how much you have actually generated if you do and this encourages you.

See the answer to the first question. The urban ovate is in production and I have written essays for Pagan Planet and iDruid, which will be out soon.

I write all of the time in both my professional and home life. My inspiration for these books comes from my long term interaction with bardic and ovate tutees on the OBOD course, where common themes kept arising over the years that I have done this.

My most recent book, currently in production, extends the ideas from Urban Druidry to the Urban Ovate, often the most difficult part of a druid course and perfectly suited to urban life.
