      I think most writers will identify with this, Wendy!

    Rather arrogantly some might say I do not consider myself lazy at all. Unfortunately inspiration rarely visits me either. I sometimes wonder if I am just too busy for inspiration to catch up with me.

      Ah, but do you seek inspiration GB? If not, you're off the hook.

      Not very often Frances, I have to admit. I'm a pretty mundane sort of a chap really.

    Maybe part of laziness is closing off to what's around you, losing attention. And attention and thought are what bring inspiration. Maybe the inspired person says: 'What if...?' and the lazy one just says: 'Whatever!'

      You may have a point, BB. I think my problem isn't so much laziness as procrastination. Which is what I'm doing now....

      PS Loved your book!

      Oh, swimming...you have to change, and get wet, and wash your hair... Lots of reasons not to go swimming!
