Paul W. Cohen
I try to write as a routine rather than an inspiration. The inspiration generally comes once I've been sitting for at least an hour at the desk. It's hard to come by in the early stages of a novel. In the latter stages, or in revision, inspiration is easier to come by. Sometimes all I want to do is sit down and work. Sometimes it's the last thing I want to do. That's why I need a routine.
