I was going to call this post 'Giving The Fans What They Want', seeing as I now have two (thanks R&G - you guys rock!), but had another thought in mind.
I'm sure you've all woken in the morning with the thought that it's going to be a bitch of a day, but then everything seems to fall into place and you end up having a really good (everything's coming up Milhouse) day. Well writers have those days (though they come in moments) too. It often happens when they think that their story is weak, even though they've been working on strenghtening it for at least a year. They write and write, knowing it's bettter to write crap and fix it up later than to not write at all. Then, as the flow of words turns from consistency of molasses to honey to water, something just clicks and BAM! all the pieces fit together. And you didn't even have to think about it.
Can't give away too many details, but had one of those moments today. What I will say is that there is nothing better than being a writer in those moments.
Hey R&G have you seen that show East Bound and Down? It's my new thing. I think you'd like it.
