The Obsession (Compulsion?) of Writing
4/12/2021 9:34:10 AM


Writing drives you batty--but it's good batty
Do you find yourself committed to writing a chapter in your latest book when an idea or a specific word occurs in the middle of the night and you are compelled to get up and write it on your notepad?

It certainly happens to me, and with fair regularity. Many's the time that happens, or we're driving somewhere and a scene or person jumps out as occasion for a character or situation. Or maybe I'm attending or watching a Sunday religious service and the priest/minister invokes something that gets my mind to working or a hymn strikes a chord.

Bottom line, writing is not something shut off like a light after doing a 9-to-5. Writing can drive you nuts, and therein lies its appeal, and, hopefully, that inspiration is felt by the readers when your work is done.

Stay well, everyone, and God bless.
