So, writing.
I've only sporadically written original fiction over the past 15 years, so I don't recall if the drive is the same as it has been when writing fanfic. But that Hurry hurry hurry keep writing OMG KEEP WRITING WHAT ARE YOU DOING SLEEPING WRITE WRITE WRITE, when I'm trying to be all Dude, chill, there isn't a due date looming, just sort of creeps me out.
I mean, I get that writing amps me up and I usually, honestly, ingest more caffeine while writing. And sugar. But I also wonder if a part of it, at least recently, is out of fear that I won't finish the story, that the ideas that are fuelling me and keeping me engaged will stop, and that the drive to finish will end.
I don't know if this story is any good, or original, or will say what I want it to, but it definitely wants to be told. So I tell it.
