For me writing has always felt like praying…

you feel you are with someone.

Cara said...: I have felt that way...because although I'm not "religious" I've often thought that the act of creative writing is a "spiritual" experience.

One of my friends said they tried creative writing...but it felt too weird, almost like schizophrenia. I wouldn't go that far...but sometimes you almost do feel as if your "characters" are speaking to you.

I'd never read that quote, thanks for posting it.; June 12, 2011 at 3:19 PM
Brenda said...: Yes, Cara, they DO seem to be speaking to you. I've some who took over and practically wrote it themselves.; June 12, 2011 at 6:16 PM
