I get it. I used to have to do that myself and it would drive me crazy to stop. Things have just changed over time.
Oh, people that write books have to have the patience of Job. I couldn't sit that long and write. Even in my better days.
I am starting to take advantage of what is going on around me more to give me a topic to write about. GEtting out more is giving me so many more of those opportunities as well.
The best way to write in my opinion, is to live a life. It isn't the big things that make a life, it is the daily stuff that we think is unimportant at the time, but is 95% of everything.
