Rimbaud has just left Hobbiton.

Hmmm...I have wanted to post on this thread for so long; work devours time from my hand. In any case, I have been writing for most of my life, and for the last twelve years on one particular work. Obviously in that time I have worked on numerous side-projects. Journalism pays the bills! Well, some of them.

In that time, the Muse has visited me on her own terms. 3am seems to be a popular time for her. Certainly never on a cloudy Saturday morning when I sit before a blank screen - or even a full one. I have no ability to grasp the ungraspable - indeed, I have now forgone that activity and simply wait with the patience I can muster. The time when the spark is not there, I spend in editing and improvements. Although, that too is much facilitated by Her presence.
