*snort* 'Oh, but honey, you shouldn't write until you're inspired. It will be so much better if you don't force it!'
Bar none, worst advice ever for a writer and I could (and have) ranted about it extensively several times. "write what you know" is pretty pointless too. That's what research is for after all. "Write what you're passionate about" is pretty good advice IMO.
Writing has gone super-well this week! :D I decided that I really wanted to ramp things up so I've aimed for 2 hours of writing every weekday and at least 30 minutes on weekends. Just about did it, too. Two hours, BTW, equals about 4000 words so... *wry grin* Lots of words have been written.
I'm almost done with my current novel (yay!) so I can hopefully soon (this weekend? Next week?) start writing an erotica novella I've had planned for a couple of months. And maybe a short story, too.
Good luck getting more writing this week coming up. Sometimes the brainstorming is necessary and life really can kick writing to the curb. *big hug*
