Thanks for replying :)

I might try writing a chapter of my current novel without any inspiration and see how my test audience of 1 rates it in comparison

I’m a writer of some skill, and I’m really proud of some of what I write, but I can only seem to write properly when “inspired” by some mysterious thing that’s apt to come and go apparently at random. I feel this feeling of an urge to write, and I write wonderfully; then the feeling goes away and my writing becomes difficult/clumsy/hollow

Can you offer any advice as to how I can rely on this inspiration less? (or, make it turn up just because I want it to?)
