Once again I find myself wanting to write but not really know what to write. I mean this both about the little nothing blog here and in a broader context. I have been trying to write a novel for the last several months and it seems to be coming in spurts and waves. I will suddenly feel compelled and write a couple thousand words in an afternoon and then be unable to write anymore for several days or longer. I am currently around 20,000 words, last I checked I was at least might be higher. I hope to get it published but that is a series of massive hurdles that I am ignoring until I am a bit closer to them. I mean no need to fret about that when I don't even have a finished first draft.
Still, that has always been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. (Please ignore the fact that I can only remember back til about 14 years old, thats still 11 years.) I want to write, to be published, to have someone read my stories. This current one is the closest I have come to that dream. I love to write, to create. I want to share that, have other people get lost in worlds I have made just as I have gotten lost in the worlds of others.
My big problem is now my creativity seems to flow. Like I said, I write in bursts. It feels like I have to build up "creative pressure". Almost like a squirt gun, once it is pumped up it will fire a massive blast that slowly dwindles to nothing and then if you pull the trigger again, nothing happens until you rebuild that pressure.
Know what? I'm going to go pull the trigger. Hopefully I will have some pressure build up.
Edit: Guess I did. Added 937 words to reach a current total of 22,385.
