Of course a person can write without inspiration - in fact, one has to, in order to be a writer. If people waited for inspiration, no one would ever get anything finished! Ты have to make Письмо a practice, something that Ты do every день (and everyday). As Ты get into the routine of writing, you'll be able to get your ideas down on paper (or on screen, if you're not printing it), and the process of doing that often leads to interesting insights. In addition, when Ты get all of your existing ideas out of your head by Письмо them and then continue writing, new ideas will often pop into your head. If Ты feel stuck, change the format of your writing. Do outlines of your ideas, if Ты can't make any progress on the story. Or, as an alternative, Ты could try ignoring the ideas Ты have for your story for a while and trying to write something that isn't necessarily going into the story, like a character's history, или the history of the character's parents, или еще detailed descriptions of each building in the town where the story is set. What happened on that site in 1856? Working on details like that, which may seem unimportant to Ты as Ты write them, can both engage Ты in the setting of the story and get Ты to relax about your "primary" ideas for the story. Hemingway famously сказал(-а) that the first million words anybody writes are crap (that's a paraphrase). If Ты wait for inspiration, you'll never get all the crap out of your system, and you'll never become the writer that Ты could otherwise be. Another suggestion: try National Novel Письмо месяц this year, или set yourself a similar challenge sooner than that. Have a goal for your writing, but make sure it isn't something amorphous like "I want to finish this story!" или "I want to get published!" Set yourself a еще concrete goal, like "I want to write 1,000 words a день for a week." After a few days of that discipline, you'll probably find that the Письмо comes much еще easily to you.
