- No, this is not another lamentation about writer's block,
- but rather the opposite: creativity.
-
- I just had a spate of creativity today and cranked out
- 1300 words, nearly finishing a short story. I've found
- that after spending a couple of ours deeply involved in
- my world, I find it hard to socialize. That's right.
- I'll go to a bbq and my story will be the foremost thing
- on my mind, and I can't really say, "Hey, Albert, guess
- what, Harmon killed the tentactled alien only to find
- that it was his father in disguise!" In other words,
- a period of introvertedness usually follows.
-
- So, is this just me, or what? It makes we wonder about my
- dreams to become a great writer...
