Random thoughts on Highlander and writing.

sierraphoenix you are truly inspirational. I really appreciated everyone who contributed to that discussion about Dean's immortality and Sammy with Sarah. I literally wrote the next story in the series in 30 minutes. It was one of those sit up in bed grab the paper and write before its gone moments. I will still have to edit it but wow it was a real Eureka moment. I don't think I ever written anything that fast. I just hope it looks as good in the morning as it felt writing it down.

So, anyone else out there ever have inspiration for a story or artistic work hit so fast it made you head spin. Just curious. What did it feel like for you?

Wow, I'm inspirational? *blushes* Glad I could help! :D Can't wait to read the next part now.

And I know what you mean about head-spinning inspiration. Distant Relations was like that for me. I wrote the first chapter and the bare-bones notes for the entire story in one night. Now if only I could get inspired enough to finish it. I already know everything that happens, so it's just a matter of writing it.

I get that feeling all the time. sometimes, I'm up writing until the wee hours of the morning, and my husband gets up, comes into the living room, and just shakes his head at me.

those are usually the best stories, btw. ;)

I've had a few stories that just wrote themselves. One was ''Ride the Lightning (http://www.spntwisted.com/viewstory.php?sid=119)' which I did for one of my Team Hellfire entries. I sat down to write at 8:30 to write and had it done by the 9pm deadline. lol. The other was for the tth-kink-a-thon and was quite porn-tastic but it also just wrote itself.

And it was an awesome feeling to just have the ideas flow like that. Kind of makes me not like those fics where I have to stop and think about what I'm doing. Of course once they're done I love those just as much.
