I Have to Write

Rarely am I disappointed in my characters. They can be mischievous, some are funny, sexy, some make me laugh while others are plain out the most evil person I've ever met. Oh wait a moment, they're in my head.

I love writing, I write everyday. It is part of my life. Some writers say they have to discipline themselves. Why? Writing should never be treated as though it is a job although I put in over forty hours a week. Why, because it defines who I am as a person. Imagine for a moment writing a story that climbs up the charts. Wouldn't that be exciting? What an adventure!

What kind of book would one have to write? I'm not a chaser. Ideas hit me, I outline, I walk and think, I see things. Sometimes after all that I discard them because they didn't talk to me. Let me not forget, I study other authors, a lot. Today is better than yesterday and tomorrow will be better than today.

I have a schedule, I know when the next book is coming out and the next one after that. In between, I write. Maybe I've got a brain tumor?
