A writers love

what I have personally felt when inspiration hits!

     I was hardly aware of my surroundings as my pencil danced across the pages in my notebook, and my mind soared like an eagle at all the possibilities of the world I was creating on paper. Ideas sparked in my mind at every word, the story that played out not of pure imagination, nor of simple truth, but of a complex world made by intertwining both, down to the last detail from the human mind. Another gentle spark of an idea has me turning the page and writing fiercly until all is gone; mind,soul....and paper. In a daze, I try to regain conciousness of my surroundings enough to look at the clock. It says 12:03 A.M. Time to get some rest. I set down my notebook and turned off my booklight, though the room was still glowing in the faint blue of the moon, shining through my window. I slipped into my sleeping bag where I slept in a corner of my room on the floor and almost immediatly drifted off to sleep, with the hope of what meant most to me taking over my mind and dreams...

sometimes we write what we dream and dream what we write,
either way can make good reading...Right?
I like to mix it up myself...tell of dreams,and sometimes make them rhyme along too...I liked this write of yours as it feels alot like drifting off to sleep,but jotting down a few notes just before slumber hits you,
some times those are when our best thoughts hit us is in our sleep...
sometimes I'll review in poetic form...like this just off the cuff...
off to bed but before I sleep,
just a few thoughts for my notebook to keep,
another idea going into my dreams,
in the morning I hope I learn what they mean,
with so many things bouncing 'round my head,
it can keep 'till tomorrow,I'm off to bed...lol
just have fun with it...LonelySoul

Ah, I love the way you wrote this. I think quiet a few writers can relate to the ideas in this story. Nice, keep it up.

But just something from me, I found that the two sets of eclipses you've used a bit too much...Especially at the end. Maybe its not such a strong way to finish. Just a personal though. Unless you were trying to go for that idea, kudos. ^^

I can totally relate to this. Except that it's not 12:30 Am. It's more like 4:00 Am. Specially on weekends LOL. Anyway hey you got the ideas with you. Good luck with your writing :D

I have felt this way before, and the emotion played well in this piece.

You used the word "mind" four times. Just watch out for repitition, because soon, that word will jump out at the reader and distract them from the meaning of your story. (Although sometimes repitition is good, especially when it -is- the meaning of your story.)

Also, I kind of wish this vignette was written more about the actual process of writing rather than writing and then going to bed. It seemed to me that the ending was just something thrown in there. For a writing such as this one, I suggest sticking with one feeling and one scene only, because, again, the meaning will be more clear and the reader will finish reading knowing exactly what you're talking about (as opposed to reading about going to bed, and having to go back to discover what the subject really was).

But, I really liked this. It was good, descriptive, and it caused me to be reminded of my own experiences.
Good job!
