freedom of writing

I guess I should live up to the words above and finally put down some mad ramblings relating to writing!

Over the last few days I have been thinking over what it is that originally attracted me to write and now a few books later what keeps me up at night tapping away at the keys.

About 2 years ago I simply got the urge, fired up the computer and began to type. There was no one telling me to do it, no boss! Just an exceptionally vivid dream of a strange situation (its the catalyst for my book called Balance) and an unusually strong urge, coupled with a sense of excitement, to get it down on paper. The most important thing of all at this time is there was no one between me and the computer saying I couldn’t do it!

Right now, its the freedom of writing. I can write anything I want to write, this alone is a mind blowing concept. I have ideas rattling around in my head all the time and some of them I have already put down for future use. One last thing, the feeling when the last page is written, even though you know its only draft and will require copious reworking, is like nothing else. Its like a drug and I am 100% hooked.

To finish a novel is an amazing feeling. Everyone should do it at least once in their life!
