Hypergraphia
overwhelming urge to write/inability to stop writing
Yes. Every writer's dream. And it exists. It turns out that when hypergraphia occurs by itself (and not forced by the writer with thousands of cups of coffee) it's actually not healthy or voluntary, as in the case of Virginia Ridley (google Viriginia Ridley).
Going along with my weekly theme of things, this week is novel-writing week, not to be confused with short-story-writing week, poetry-writing week, and blog-writing week which will occur later. Last week (art week), I produced a few good sketches and one pieced together of flower petals. This week, I'm going to try the equivalent. So, perhaps not a full 50,000 word novel, but at least the start of one, including character sketches and a plot outline.
