Something bit me!

It just crawled up while I was trying to go to sleep, it nibbled on me and I just couldn't go to sleep!
The creative bug bit me so hard at like 2 something this morning. It was intense.
If you don't know, I went to college for screenwriting and have written a short film that actually aired on TV like 2 years ago. So that is what I want my profession. Scriptwriter and Graphic Novel creator. That is me.
So, for a while I wasn't writing script, I would start some but building up to act 2 is always so hard.
But for some reason, my love for writing and knowledge of how to pace a story just slammed my face.
I immediately sat up, grabbed a notebook, grabbed a pen (my mom got me new pens and they are so smooth, it is lovely) and I just wrote and wrote.
I would honestly still be writing if my shoulders were not dying and if I didn't have to work. Honestly, I could bail out of working buuut I'm saving up for a phone, so mturk calls me.
But god, that was so much fun. I wrote for like 3 and a half hours. I wrote 16 pages including a song that will happen in the script.
I don't know how this happened but I am itching to get back to it. Ahhh I'm so happy!

Oh, it was nasty, it was like I couldn't pay attention to anything, it was painful just to read someone's post to see what they were actually talking about.

Awesome! I love when the creative bug bites. Sixteen pages is an impressive amount to get done! Hope you're able to get back to it soon.

@DesirousDreamer This post actually inspired me to try to go back to writing by hand. I have been trying to write a novel and my mind just goes blank when I sit down at a computer and stare at a blank page. When I was younger I got so much writing done, but I did it all by hand in a spiral notebook. So I sat down with a notebook and pen last night and started writing. And I was able to finish the chapter I have been stuck on! Maybe I just need to stick to writing by hand from now on, and worry about typing it all up later.

@Srbageldog That is fantastic! I love writing in a notebook especially with a pen because you can just make all the mistakes and not care. You do not feel inclined to fix your mistakes or reread your story and trash it because you think it is bad. I just get all my thought outs and I know there are several things I am going to change, but too bad it is in pen and all the ideas need to get out before editing.
