Writing is an insane endeavor. How do you explain to someone?

6/25/2014

So I'm working on my answers for my Blog Hop June 30th and one of the questions is: Describe your writing process? How do you explain to someone that there is no process. That it's just insanity.  I'm like that Kurt Cobain song, " I'm so happy because today I found my friends inside my head." Really, that's what it's been to my entire life. It decides to visit me. I don't look for it. And I write it down because...well, it makes room for new friends.

I once wrote the first three chapters of a book on those tiny little notepads you get in hotels, while I was traveling on a business trip. The best dialogue comes to me when I'm doing something else. For thirty years my kids have thought I talk to myself. No, it's not me. It's them. My friends inside my head.

And I drift off into space and end  up with story lines. I can't tell you how many times I've shifted my gaze to find husband watching me with a strange look in his eyes. What?! You have the oddest look on your face, Susan, what are you thinking. And my personal favorite is when my kids shout at me, "MOM YOU'RE NOT LISTENING." Sorry little bugs, the friends in my head are louder than you girls, if you can believe that!

I write because I have to. I can't make it go away. How do you explain that?
