I want to share an excellent quote from author Kevin J. Anderson (a writer I got to meet at Shevacon in Roanoke, Va., several years ago).
He was part of a forum to answer questions and answered this query: "What inspires you to write?"
His response was: "I write because if I didn't write, then my head would explode from all the ideas that keep coming."
OK, it's not a blow-your-mind kind of quote, but what I like so much about it is that it rings true with me and likely many other writers. Ideas and/or scenes pop into my head often, and I have to jot them down or I'll forget them. If they're for a chapter of a book, the ideas will keep pouring in until I complete the chapter.
And then ... the relief sets in ... too bad it doesn't last long. Almost immediately, I get more ideas for the next chapter. Save it for another day, I tell myself. Even writers need some sleep.
