I disagree about 'inspiration hurts your writing' -- He's simply wrong. You ABSOLUTELY SHOULD write when inspired but let it cool and edit just like everything else. But you should never rely on inspiration ONLY as the means to write creatively. If you have inspiration, USE IT!

Definitely some good stuff in the middle.....but yeah I felt it a bit drawn out.
You saved me even bothering to follow the link. With my link speed and download limits anything over 10 minutes has to be something very much out of the ordinary for me to bother.

But I would similarly disagree that inspiration hurts your writing - but the thing to understand/remember is that inspiration rarely comes from nowhere (though when it does it can be worth taking a really good look at it). Inspiration comes from doing, and it comes to those that are actively looking for it. (It might come to others, but if they aren't paying attention then it doesn't really matter.)
