You know, my sister is a compulsive writer. She has several universes
(she's a fiction writer) that she has created, all their own Gods, planets,
wars, peoples. She has one character that has died and comeback five or six
times. I, on the other hand, am a writer, not because I feel the need to
drain my brain of all these ideas floating around in my head (which seems to
me is why many compulsive writers write) but because it communicates more
effectively what I want to say and stays there. Most of the time I'll say
something witty and then promptly forget it or will stutter, stammer and
generally babble intil the idea that was floating around finally comes out.
I'm curious, why are you a compulsive writer. Is it to express yourself
clearly, as a release valve on an over active mind or someting else Sean?
(anyone else want to jump in here, please feel free.)

...I also suffer from the I enjoy writing disease. If I wasn't writing, I
would
have to be.....writing. So might as well try and combine my obsession with
my job, letting my day take the easiest path rather than fighting to try and
be a square peg in a round hole.
