'A
writer writes, always.'* Except, that is, when that writer is tired, bored,
hungry, at work, excited, upset, stressed, content or distracted by even the
slightest thing, such as an unusually shaped orange, or something equally
inane.
The
problem is that there are literally thousands of things to do other than write,
and sometimes, it feels impossible to sit still and concentrate for long enough
to do anything constructive or useful. Although I seem to find an inordinate
amount of time to play Fruit Ninja, which is neither constructive, nor useful,
although it is bizarrely satisfying all the same.
