I do like the car analogy... we have to put something IN. I've noticed that my creative juices start flowing almost as soon as I get started on something else. Just this morning, I wound up "writing" (taking quick notes) on two article ideas just while waiting for a slice of toast. Funny how that works... I very seldom sit down at a blank screen and "just start writing." Most of my posts/articles were started at some point I was AWAY from the computer.
