How it feels to write like a nut

Well I''l say that I'm something of a newby when it comes to the writing challenges that are out there. Hard to imagine it's not even been two years yet and by months end I should have a rough draft of no less the four novels, four scripts and twenty odd short stories. With a bit of editing and redrafting I can't imagine I would be completely unable to find a home on bookshelves in peoples home for at least one of the lot.

But One of the things I find about the writing is what it does to you. There are times, though they happen more rarely these days where I can sit and work so hard trying to get the story out of me while the ideas are fresh and flowing. It really does feel like you have cut a vein and are spilling it on the paper, with suitable fatigue and degrading mental function the more you do it in a short period of time. But there is also an energy boost like nothing else to be standing stiffly on my feet at the end of the night bleary eyed and realise, I wrote eight thousand words tonight, and though editing will doubtlessly be required it's making it's way to being a completed work.

It reminds me of a quote from the novelisation of the Princess bride. I'd likely butcher it but Lets just say that a certain spaniard turns to a certain turkish giant and says something to the effect of: We are having an adventure Fezik and few people in the world are so lucky.

During the four day binge I recently did I discovered something interesting. I've got the ability to get a long vacation whenever I need it.

I went in to work Yesterday and it really and truely felt as if I'd been gone for a month. That readjusting to the same routine and seeing people you haven't seen in a while. It had only been four days but I'd been on an adventure, and so much had happened in the worlds I had visited and nearly every moment of those days was counted out that it truely made it seem as if time had passed differantly for me.

Now I'm not so delusional as to think that there won't be a bit of what I call time dilation as the rest of the world catches up to me. I fully expect that I will blink when this is over and New Years day will be behind me by some weeks.

Sigh, I'll write more about this in a day, right now I've got an important task I've to attend to.
Take Care of yourselves,
