Writing and Fitness

"I find it difficult to apply myself unless I have the discipline of a class, and work takes up a lot of creative energy. But I think that although writing ability is a muscle which gets stronger with use, it also responds to the occasional ´flexing´ and if that is how my life is at the minute, then I count myself lucky there are environments (like your writing classes) where I can do that without feeling completely unfit!"
