Inspirationary
I've been away for a really long time. Some days, I looked at the site and then went away. I am never signed out. I am signed in on at least six devices, three of which are never truly switched off. If no one unplugs my computer, I could be here until well after they unplug me.

The hard part is remembering what was I doing before I stopped doing it. As Bob Mortimer would say: "it's like a mouse's tear on a hot griddle". That's how quickly it slips away from you. And every day without inspiration carries you further and further into the dark emptiness.

The truth is that writing doesn't come from inspiration. Inspiration comes from writing. You have to start putting words down and other words will join them. Soon, words you haven't heard from in a long time show up and before long, there's a party goin' on.

Well, that's the theory, anyway.
