I gotta chase for it and take many swings with my golf club until it's in the hole - that takes years. Inspiration is hard to catch when you need it. It has to come to you which requires lots of waiting. Patience is golden in this writing community :)Livia Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059335917756643684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6839646920915128083.post-22518731980958026322012-11-07T16:54:27.211-08:002012-11-07T16:54:27.211-08:00Those are excellent writing quotes!

It's a horrible thought for me.<br /><br />I don't know if this will help you or not, but I was looking at a study (an unscientific one) the other day and two things struck me:<br />1. It takes 10 years of writing before most writers "make it." There are exceptions, but that was how it generally went.<br />2. Almost all writers don't make it until their mid-30s. <br /><br />Those two things kind of go together, I think. They also go along with what Tolkien said about writing, that it's something that doesn't happen until enough stuff collects in your brain for the mushrooms to start growing out of it.<br /><br />Anyway... don't despair!
