Alright, Monday, let’s do this.

I think all creative people can relate to this quote from the incredible producer/director/writer/editor (etc.) Cecil B. DeMille. I find that even if my anxiety about writing returns, once I get going, I can’t stop, and then I can’t wait until the next time I can write, whether it’s in the next hour or the next week. I practically count down the hours until I can create again. That’s also the reason I take notes throughout the day on all my works, including current works in progress and ones far down the line. When I’m away from my computer, I take notes in notebooks, my phone, and voice recordings – whichever is most convenient. If I put off my ideas for too long, either they stop coming or I get into a really nasty mood that you don’t want to see.
Creativity is one addiction I will never let go. If I did, not only would I be permanently miserable, but I would have no direction to my life. It sounds extreme, but without the outlet of creativity, without imagination driving me, my sense of purpose would also disappear. Such is the life of a writer.
