Why is writing important? I stupidly make jokes about not disapointing the fans. But the truth is I need this. I can slip so easily into hours of tv and an autodrive life. It's scary how I can easily fall into the matrix. Like a warm hot tub. Once you get in you stop feeling the aches and pains. You're surrounded by warmth, and eventually you stop feeling your own body.
Writing forces you to organize your thoughts. They fly in so easily, but to organize these swarms of bats is another story.
