Writing is like making dinner...
At the grocery store I usually run up and down the aisles looking for inspiration or an idea of what to make for dinner. When i finally get a little spark or hint of what I am going to do, I race home with my individual purchases and throw them onto the counter. This is a very stressful time because nothing is prepared, nothing is boiling, and people are coming in two hours. However, as things get going my stress level decreases and I become a little more confident with getting dinner ready on time.
Once everything is finally ready to be served, I analyze my work and see all my inspirations and ingredients finally came together to make the perfect meal, all in the knick of time.
So you see, this is how writing is for me. I desperately seek for inspiration at first, with no idea of what I am going to write about. When I do get an idea, i run with it and while the idea "cooks" I am able to relax a little. Things get a little hectic through the process and knowing that I must serve my writing to others in a short time. But, once it is all said and done (or wrote and done), I relax and be proud and confident in my work.
