I'm a freelance writer and blogger. Sometimes I go months without being able to cobble together even a decent grocery list, let alone an article or blog post. Then my Muse will take a dump on my head and suddenly I'm eloquent and mellifluous with my prose.....to say nothing of verbosity. Sometime I'll share with you all an essay I wrote a few months ago called "After the Whirlwind", when I was manic as hell (hence the overuse of metaphors). I got paid for it too.
