Chronic Writing

Dear you,

Sometimes I feel that writing should officially be diagnosed as an illness, like clinical depression. Writing has its own symptoms, and they could be as follows:


  1. Having an overwhelming feeling to hold a pen and a paper
  2. Writing everything down like an amnesic person (like Memento, for example) in hopes that something good would come out of it.
  3. Waking up in the middle of the night to write one sentence or line that could or may work as an ending or beginning of a story. 
  4. Waking up in the morning to the thought "What on earth was that stupid last night's thought?"
  5. An overwhelming inability to express anything through spoken words
  6. A growing fear, sometimes phobia, of holding the pen and paper to write, in fear of writing something hardly publishable, or even good
  7. Constantly having an urge to tear down all one's writings once they are written
  8. Never feeling satisfaction with one's words
Now, aren't those enough to make writing a disease? 


Yours faithfully and sincerely,
N.
