The Feeling of writing

Putting thoughts into words, can be a fairly difficult or fairly simple at times. When I'm writing a chapter for my books, my fingers type away, immediately knowing what to say. I don't think for a second what I may be writing and that's what clears my head. The emptiness that comes with it, letting my fingers become my mind and allowing my mind to rest. What about you? Is it fairly easy or hard? What are your feelings and thoughts of the time?

It really just depends on my mood. Sometimes I just get to rambling and somewhere during it my brain engages and some decent stuff comes out. I don't ever have emptiness... I wish. My brain always has a million things rattling around. It is more like catching some of it before it flees away completely.

The feeling of writing is very powerful. As if there's no limits to what could come next.

For me it would even depend on the story or the scene I am writing. If it is something I have a good image of in my head beforehand, then I might be able to write it quickly, but if it is something I have to put some research into or consciously force myself to think about, then it would go slowly and it would be rough for me to feel relaxed or anything comfortable.

Writing is an utterly powerful thing, and sometimes it flows while other times it limps. It all depends on the story and the work I've already done to figure things or characters out for me.

It's that way for me too. Although I wish I had a spider web in my brain to catch and keep all my millions of ideas and thoughts.

Ah, it'd be wonderful to have a spider web! Though a dream catcher would be more my style, but that would be fantastic for those ideas you get when you're just barely conscious.

I agree. Spider webs are so beautiful and intricate.

Writing feels like reading a really, really exciting book. It like I'm reading the book instead of writing it, as if I'm discovering what happens next after I've written it. It's like the characters are telling me their story and I'm just transcribing them. I wouldn't describe it as relaxing it all. It feels very tense and exciting, like an adrenaline rush. And then at some point that rush disappears and it's like, 'I guess they're not telling me any more today". Then it's a good kind of tired feeling, the kind of satisfied tired you get after a good workout
