From Janet West
“It’s an adrenaline surge rushing through your body. You have this spark of an idea that keeps threatening to burst into flames and you have to get the words out on paper to match this emotion or picture in your head. After this comes the work of cleaning up the mess you made.”

Truer words were never spoken. The polishing of the ideas is the hard part, the storylines are always there.

Actually, I don’t mind the tidying up and polishing stage… and a few more of those adrenaline surges would make life a lot easier!

Adrenaline surges? Here I thought it was just estrogen sputtering out. But, I’ll take whatever I can get in the way of surges.
Now, if I could just develop a writing voice. Stories are easy; telling is hard.
