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.

I would LOVE to have days like that again...used to have them earlier in the year, but lately have been thrown off by some emotional crap where that is concerned. Am hovering around in shallow waters now.

But yeah, I know what you mean. Usually they come late at night when its time for me to go to bed.

Hard part is getting the family to understand what that is all about...they get real offended thinking Im ignoring them, when its really all about being "possessed" by the Muse.

Oh, do I get that.

When that happens, I look back over what I wrote and, aside from all the red marks, think wha???? Cool. And I pat myself on the back and can't write a blessed word for a few days as I recover.
