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 yeah, happens to me constantly. I'll have these wonderful stories unspool as I'm falling asleep, or if I wake up in the middle of the night, but come the next night when I'm hope from work and able to try and wrtie it down, I can almost never reconstruct it. It's very frustrating!

In this case, it was only one line of dialogue, so I jotted it into an email and sent it to myself.

I have written whole stories from one good line of dialogue that attacks me on the way to work and won't leave me alone.
