Had a creative rush yesterday and wrote 2 chapters for the next novel in my 'Shift' series (mind you this rush came in the middle of a workshop completely unrelated to writing). But I had to follow my subconcious urge to write and so before I knew it the bones of two chapters appeared in my notebook. It's a great feeling just to abandon yourself to that creative impulse.
Thinking about writing is hard ... actually doing it is liberating.
I (like most other writers I have read about and spoken to) am plagued by self-doubt and that seemingly unattainable goal of being published. But I have realised that none of that really matters when I am actually creating and the thoughts are spilling out faster than I can get them down. I think the key is to think less and simply start moving your pen.
Just finished reading Wild Ink - a book about writing for young adults and loved it! Would recommend it to anyone interested in the genre.
