[MalReynolds]

I make myself write. I sit down and literally make myself write. It's not always easy, and I don't always want to do it. Sometimes, I hate it. But I force myself. Because I want this to be my life. If I only felt like writing when the muse hit or when I know I'd be hitting a stride, I'd be waiting around forever, and it's never good to wait for such fickle superlatives and parameters to hit. I get my ass out of bed, I go to my writer's office, and I sit down until I have something on the page.

It's hard. It most definitely isn't something easy, but it's not always going to be, and no one said it ever was.
