The need to write

Its funny, after putting so much time into creating a storyline and characters, I tend to feel as if I am neglecting them if I dont write each day. I can only imagine them either frozen where I left off or pacing around, checking thier watches and waiting to be given the next task to either walk or talk. It is a pretty intense feeling to know that you have created an entire world that you can lay claim to. As the plot seems to unfold and you erase, re write and erase again, it gets tedious to make sure that you dont do them an injustice by being to predictable or cliche. You want your reader to see them as you do, each flaw or physical feature, and if by chance you take a day or two off, you may come back with a different feeling than when you left. That change in feeling might actually make a change in character or even plot. Its a great meditation to come and ajust your own world exactly as you like. Your own physical world could be full of stress, bills and upset, but you can just sit down and create one that encompasses everything yours may be missing. For those of you that have never tried, take the time to put pen to paper or fingers to keys and see what I mean :)
