Well, I'm not a writer, so I can't completely understand the drive to write, but I imagine it's like an itch that has to be scratched. The best description I've heard is that one "just *has* to write." It's like asking someone not to breathe: impossible to do without great pain and suffering. Of course, when you have a bad cold and a sore nose, breathing can be painful, too. ;)
LOL Kp mushu. You know actually Lavender, there are times I wish I had your drive to write, I like doing it fine but my problem is I get good idea for a basic plot but then thats it, I don't get enough to flesh out an entire story and thats frustrating which just makes me want to say "Forget it!". I'm sure the ending of TFR is going to be great though(as is the rest of the story of course),I'll just be sad to see it end though.
The writing itch makes sense, sorta like the art itch that I have. Sometimes you just feel incomplete for the day if you don't get it out of your system
My itch is to read stories. I love music, and when I'm out of it for a while, there are times when I miss the actual physicality of singing. Now, though, I'm so out of voice, I get frustrated trying to do anything of quality.
But reading stories...I think that's mine. I finally got back to my obsessive reading habits this year, (not just HP stuff) and I feel like I am being much more true to myself than I have for the past 10 years.
As for Mozart, he was a math whiz, too; used to scribble equations on the walls in Salzburg. I prefer the Beethoven method. Scratch it out, tear it up, then destroy the piano because it's not capable of producing the effect you worked so hard to compose. (Both were insane to a degree in my book. You appear much more normal)
