I can remember it clearly. Waking up one day from my bed after a protecular weird vivid dream going into the dining room sitting down with my notebook and began writing my first fantasy.

I spent the entire day doing that as teenager. Food was brought to me. I went to the bathroom occasionally but the whole day I was just in that vibe to write. It was a Obession. Though I didn’t know it at the time and that was the only time I ever did that but I never lost that spellbound enchantment to the craft.

The only other people I could see have that thought process are people that grand Master chess players.

I’m not that big on the game but the focus and thought process of thinking ahead and analyzing strategy skills are amazing to me. The talent for being capable of being experienced at being focused on a single series of moves not made reminds me writing for me. The Obession of it is reminds me of my own Obession at times.

When I’m writing I am not just thinking about the next sentence but the ending and beginning. The characters have their motivations and I find myself careful in writing dialog that hopefully will fit them and not my own thoughts for their actions.

I think within reason Obession can be a positive thing when it is controlled or led in a right direction.  Being Obessed with winning in life is a healthy thing. Being obsessed with not giving a fucking is a sure way to get your ass handed to you or the best way of not giving a fuck about the demands other people put on you.

Warm Regards
