I've got deadlines for "The Man Who Caught Death in a Bag" and "The Shadow" over the next two weeks.
I am not a writer who writes constantly. Sort of a fits and starts, when-the-spirit-moves-me style. The Spirit now moves me. It has no choice.
Attend, muses. Attend.
So...all ye other writers... to what do you turn to for inspiration, when inspiration must be "conjured?"

Unfortunately, Matt, this is one of those times where "inspiration" has nothing to do with it. It's kind of like those school days when you had a 10-page term paper due the next morning and you only wrote the topic sentence. So, if by "inspiration," you mean, "panic and caffeine pills," then yes, I guess "inspiration" does come into play.
Though don't panic. You know what you need to write (i.e., you know the stories for both, you know what scenes that need to be conveyed are missing, etc.) and you'll find that the panic of the impending deadlines and remembering that you know what you're doing will serve you well.
Now get crackin!
