Maybe. Maybe not. There is something to the notion of making a pact to write, whether it is with a friend, or with oneself. The trick is, at least I've found, to write something every day. Like running, bicycling, horseback riding, singing, teaching, or being a computer wizard -- when you engage in the practice of the work, then work becomes a practice (in the zen way of things) and you, the practitioner become one with your work. The Sun would like that, I think... Someone once said there is no such thing as writer's block, only a failure of will.
