What Is A Writing Storm?

Writing Storm Definition: When you are so caught up in a writing process, whether that be brainstorming, planning, writing, editing, reading, etc, that you are highly focused, irritated with all distractions and determined to finish what you’re doing, possibly to accomplish a certain set goal.

I got caught up in a writing storm last night, when editing this blog’s appearance. I posted a similar post to this one then, but the stupid thing somehow disappeared. Here were some additional signs of a writing storm: I spent four hours right through dinnertime without eating, without feeling hunger pangs or weakness as I usually do. It was like my stomach was in overdrive, as if to help me finish the work I was so set on finishing. I was sore and stiff once I got up, from the position I’d so faithfully been sitting in(Back problems later?!). I ignored most people who were trying to get in touch with me during my storm. Anyone in person who tried to, I tried to be my usual polite self, but honestly, I probably sounded really irritated. Once I finished, I still wasn’t hungry, but my clothes and jewelry suddenly felt constricting, and I just HAD to get them off IMMEDIATELY, and turn my fan on blast. I struggled with a hemp bracelet that’d gotten twisted, and muttered some angry words.

By the way, a writing storm can be a coping mechanism. God knows mine was... I miss my best friend.
