Compulsion is definitely something you can’t explain to non-writers. Or anyone that hasn’t felt the creative urge.

Yes, Stephanie, I’m also compulsively checking email and looking at websites. Mainly to connect with other writers since writing is such an isolating job. It’s been SO great meeting all you wonderful people.

Yeah, I hear you Rach. Guilt is a killer. I figure that if I don’t write, I’m a grumpy horrible Mum. So me writing is a way of keeping my family happy. Does that sound weird??

With little kids the only time I really get to write is at night and that’s also the only time I really get with my hubby! Hmm… dilemmas, dilemmas!

Then there’s the obsessive checking of emails if something is out there. My husband thinks my computer is permanently attached to my lap 🙂
