Inspire - well, it could be a lot of work if you have no idea what you're writing.... like me usually. i'm pretty much a pantser - i write by the seat of my pants. the opposite is a planner - sometimes people create their entire novel (characters, chapters, the world, who does what when, all spelled out) and all that's needed is writing the actual sentences to string the thoughts together. that's extreme planning. sometimes i plan (plantser) but mostly i have a little seed of an idea that as i water and nurture it, it grows into .... whatever. XD

right now it's a hobby that i do every november. one of the things that NaNo tries to instill in writers is the idea of writing something every day. my MO is to start on November 1 and then once i'm finished.... i don't write again until November 1. LOL XD

and yes, it is fun. and in this case, i created a whole new world and realm this year. but sometimes i think i've run out of ideas because i can't always think outside or around the box sometimes.
