How much do you write at one time when you get inspired?

I just had one of those wonderful moments when my brain was filled with stuff to write. I think it's the beginning of a book, to be exact. I started off writing an article, but it took on a life of its own. I just finished 2,000 words in record time, and I can't stop brainstorming.

Sometimes when this happens, I go in fits and starts. I'll write a little, lose steam and then my muse will decide to take a coffee break. I don't think so this time. I can see this whole project from start to finish. I think it's time to stop and outline. Although I never outline when writing an article, I'm stopping to outline so I can take this further. I smell BOOK DEAL! Hahahaha! Wouldn't that be nice?

I can't remember the last time I was inspired.

I know that feeling--I was there for ages. At least two years.

When I'm in the zone I can write 5-6,000 words without breaking a sweat. In a whole day? 10k.

At the moment I'm lucky to make 2,000.

But it's funny. The more I force myself to write, the easier it gets to find that zone. I've always said the muse only shows up when you show willing.

I'm like that. When I make myself write, it's easier to find the zone. If my muse isn't there when I start, she eventually shows up to see what all the fuss is about. She's nosy like that. And then she starts giving me her two cents worth. She's pushy like that.
