I started a new YA paranormal a couple of days ago, and it has been flowing so well I’m afraid to say that out loud for fear of jinxing myself. But it’s too exciting not to share. Maybe this is fate rewarding me for all the times I’ve had to drag the words out of my head onto the page, but so far this book is going great. I’ve written 34 pages since about 6 p.m. Thursday, 22 of those pages yesterday!
So, writers, have you ever had this happen, where the words just flowed and you looked down and couldn’t believe how many pages you’d written?

Yay Trish! I wish I could say that I resemble your post! LOL. Been a long time since words have just flown. Need some of that. Lovin your quotes as well - makes me want to drag my dvds out and watch again!

Thanks, Tammy. I’m very, very thankful for the flow right now and hoping it doesn’t dry up about Page 150.

In answer to your question: YES! And I wish to God that would happen now. I’ve been struggling for months with this current WIP and I hate feeling like I’m forcing myself to write but I know I’ve got a good idea. Also, I know that this struggle is a way of challenging myself also. And I can’t resist a challenge

Michele, I’ve definitely had plenty of manuscripts where it felt like I was having to squeeze my brain for every last word and I thought I’d never finish. Good luck with your WIP. Hope the words start to flow easier soon.
