Writer's Insanity

When I write stories and I am creating all the time I start to spawn all sorts of new worlds and creations as I slip into god-tier creativity. Then my whole body starts to tingle and my heart beats faster. And then I feel like the world is starting to channel through me at a faster and faster rate. It's a feeling of being alive and the endless battles that emerge tell me that it will take a higher plane of understanding to change those that need to change for the better. Still, I can't help but reach out and hope that one day they will listen to me, because I'm there to save them as well, but they are trapped in a world meant to trap them, so listening to me won't save them. They need to save themselves. It's the insanity that takes over from excessive creation. The end result is a burnout, but I'm nowhere close to that yet.

Ah, you need to write something else and then the words will flow again. I'm starting to fall behind par myself. I wrote 800 words of someone else's story (well, a possibility) to give them an idea of how a change in their plot could flow. Those are words that don't count towards my total, but oh well.

@OneOfMany your words count, count for you not for them anyways. I know what the problem is, just not yet how to fix it, moody days for me, and writing wise I was spinning my wheels, I was good when I had somewhere write to, but I got there, now I need a plan again.

@Jessicalynnt I write to the mission. The insanity that is me trying to change the world through my words but knowing the people are beyond saving. I have a lot to write for in that case!

When I really get going my arms start to tingle up and down, and then it spreads across my body. I have to be really into the story or it doesn't happen at all. It's either the act of writing what I love or the passion for the worlds I create.

That is because it is more than just writing for you @OneOfMany , so much more than just writing. :-)

I hope I'm good! People like the things I write but I never finish, so that in itself makes me bad. :)

@Missmwngi I guess I'll find out in the future when I publish something and see the reception of it. If it isn't liked then I know the truth.

Ha, it doesn't happen all that often, but it does start to go into over-load when I really get going.
