That's what I have been experiencing. I find it comes on very very quickly and by the time I can actually recognize it, it's already grabbed ahold of my characters. The only thing is I am experiencing a weird sort of Writers block...in which I can write a chapter for one story, but none for others. I just finished the 14th chapter of Speciman Alpha, which is on its way towards the end, and I think now that I've just finished it I can write and write and write more for that story.

But the downside is, I've come up with other story ideas during this summer which I have been absolutely dying to write down. But due to the fact that I can't stop my mind from weaving my Speciman Alpha story up into a nice little ball, I've run into Writers Block with those stories. Some of which I had not even started yet. Hmm.

I'm also experiencing a lack of support for my writing among my peers. Let me just say it is hard to write for yourself sometimes. And with me being unable to take Creative Writing Fiction again, I have no one who is basically forced to listen to my stories. My parents are unable to read my writing because they analyze it too much, my sister doesn't read it because she's interested in Stephanie Meyer more, and my brother is busy reading books while recovering.

If there was only someone I could send it to who could critique it. Hmmm.

It probably wouldn't matter all that much though, seeing as how I'm stuck with Writers Block.

On a good note, I found that it's only six months before a play I wrote takes the stage. Which is completely exciting if I do say so the least. Sadly, I don't think I'm going to be able to videotape it due to copyright laws...or maybe I can. I'll ask my professor who's running it whether or not I can videotape it.

If for anything it might help me to see it actually happening on stage.
