When I joined this forum I had just come off a 2 day binge of fervent writing. I have been unable to pick up where I left off. I mentioned this in my introduction post but I have always been more or less incapable of sitting down and writing something in a deliberate way and only write as a result of a deep seated irresistible compulsion. This same rule applies to pretty much any creative pursuit be it drawing or musical or what ever.
I would really like to change this. I have countless scrawled upon papers, booklets full of drawings, and half baked lyrics as a result of these momentary urges - the vast majority of which are utter nonsense or hogwash but some that I look back on and think - Wow that was really almost something.
Those of you who get down to serious business and write often - have you always been able to do so? Are there exercises you do to keep yourself in shape? Warm up stretches? What inspires your urge to write? Is being a "Pantster" an actual viable way to see anything to completion?
I am going to give myself the goal to write something every day. Would appreciate any wisdom you lot may have to offer.
Cheers!
