it's not exactly waiting for inspiration

It's funny how even when you may want to write something, even when you feel that slight pressure building in the back of your mind, it sometimes just isn't ready to come out. There are of course moments of laziness, but that's not what I'm talking about.

Sometimes you just have to wait, and things will come together.
Some writers refuse to allow that. They always contend that you can and should attempt to push things. Push until it happens, 'til you get what you want.
Sometimes just getting into motion is all that you need, but sometimes, you just have to wait.

All of these situations apply to the writing and the lack of it that is displayed here.
Sometimes waiting for things to come together is exactly the right thing to do. That goes against conventional wisdom and could easily be seen as an excuse for not doing something.
Not arguments there. It can often be true, but, but, but, you probably know by now that I tend to be more interested in the exceptions rather than the rules.
