Occurred to me recently that writing has much in common with Freecell. There are times when I am unbeatable in Freecell, where I win game after game. A single glance at the layout then I start clicking cards, not planning my moves but somehow comprehending the whole board and knowing that I've got it.
Other times I lose game after game, or win one and then promptly lose the next three. Even the simplest of games can be lost in these times, and it's only when the computer tells me I've lost that I realize what I should have seen before. At these times I'm incredibly frustrated since I know I'm better than that, but somehow I can't figure out how to get back on track.
Needless to say I prefer the days when I am a Freecell Master.
Writing is a bit like Freecell, in that there are days when I am absolutely on top of my game, and days when I am incapable of stringing together a dozen sentences.
No real conclusions here, except that I'm currently in the middle of an extended winning streak in Freecell, and hoping the good vibes translate over to my writing this weekend.
