Writing Fever

I awoke at 4am when my son needed a bottle, I forgot I had left my laptop on Sleep. I placed the on my lap, sat up and started writing. This happened a month ago, and I am still writing, non stop almost as if I am having an affair with my laptop,(if that's possible). Have you EVER had this happen to you? When all you do is live and breathe the words that flow out of your head on paper or to your computer? It feels almost like a invisible waterfall of fluffy never ending words that fill the screen or paper with a touch of love. lol. So what have you written?

Nope, I have had not that experience as yet. I too have article writing jobs but I have told them to give me in small number so that I feel the pressure. And as I can have my time to manage i am not in your state but I really sit a long time in front of my PC.

Woohoooo! well i haven't experienced that Mika. I take my time to write articles not unless you are in a deadline to do your writing engagements and it was necessary for you to continue on writing even if your deprived of sleep. Relax a bit and stretch your back. It is still important for you to have a bonding with your hubby and baby. Anyway i am sure you are doing your part so that you can earn more money. I do write articles sometimes if i am in the mood to write, no deadlines or whatsoever that is why my earnings are still low and way far from payout. But if i wanted to concentrate or focused into something, i guess it will be the same scenario just like yours. About what i write, mostly things that i have experienced, some reviews, some articles are part of my hobby and the things i do to make an extra money. Probably i can introduce a video tutorial next month. But for now, i have passed articles in text format.

Oh no, this is all for personal pressure. But i decided since i have so many pages that I would turn it into a book. The cool thing is that my hubby is a journalist so he can edit it for me. the bad thing is I don't think he would like it because it is not something he would read, oh well! lol So what kind of articles do you write?

Oh, it's been pretty constant over the past few years (until this month, since I've been too exhausted to write once I do finally get some time to do so....farming stuffs, life stuffs, gosh it's tiring)...a flow of stories, of pretty words and a passion for writing itself. I've written several books over the last three years or so. I've blogged for just as long. If I'm not careful, I tend to burn myself out and have to take some downtime from it -- and I'm never happy to do so, but those times're when I've just...tapped out my inspiration, energy, and my mind feels too dull to create anything nice or worthwhile.

I understand the feeling of urgency writing brings. As a child I wrote poems. As an adult I have wrote short stories. I am currently attempting a novel. I feel as though I have a gift with writing. I have always written something, whether is is poems or stories. It is how I express myself. It is my outlet.
