What I mean by inspired is that the writing didn&#8217;t flow.  When I am writing something that&#8217;s going to work, I don&#8217;t have to spend much time working things out.  Anyway, during the month, I wrote a short story for English.  It flowed.  Very much so.  I got 100% on it in fact.  So I have a theory.  When I&#8217;m not writing anything big, I have a lot of stored up &#8220;flowing power&#8221; so when I do write something, it&#8217;s really good.<\/p>\n<p>from March 1995<\/p>\n<p>My writing philosophy is to write something original that people remember; to make people think about themselves and their lives; and to make them never want to stop reading, even after the story is finished.<\/p>\n<p>from May 1995<\/p>\n<p>If someone were to ask me why I like to write, I&#8217;d have to say it&#8217;s very simple and very complicated.  Writing is comparable to major activities in my life.  One might as well ask why I like to breathe or eat.  As for the complicated part, it&#8217;s like this.  Writing is the special thing in my life.  I feel totally happy when I&#8217;m writing something that&#8217;s flowing.  It&#8217;s the joy of creation.  I can&#8217;t think of how to explain it better.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?p=26\">An Introduction to Flashbacks<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?p=29\">The Flashback Cast<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.megancrewe.com\/blog\/?page_id=242\">The Flashback Timeline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1995 (Megan is 14) from January 1995 After I finished my first novel, I was unable to get inspired for about a month.
