Do You Ever?

[ithildin]

Do you ever get these bursts of manic writing, and you just type as fast as you can, trying to capture every little drop? And then, the next day, it's almost like you dreamed it all; it has that same sort of vague ethereal quality in your memory. Except you didn't dream it, you have the proof on your HD. So you read what you wrote the night before and wonder, where in the hell did that all come from?!?

That's me today.

OH, have I ever done that. Of course, since I'm manic-depressive I tend to have manic spells when I write - and usually very emotionally-driven. Since I've been relatively stable my writing style has changed and it's taken me a lot longer to author a story.

My son gets those as well - and his stuff just comes out plain old strange. ;-)

About 8-9 years ago, I was fairly ill and in alot of pain. boy, the stuff I wrote! Almost like I was a different person during those spells.
