Birthing

I've heard that writing, or creating anything for that matter is a bit like giving birth. First there's that glorious night of sex, when the project is set into motion. Pure excitement, no motivation needed. What's inside comes out and you don't care what it looks like:-)

But then you enter the rewrite, reworking phase. Just like the pregnancy. Some people like this phase, they glow. This incubation period has always been painful to me. Constant barfing and discomfort. And then of course if you nurture the little beast properly and take care for proper prenatal care, soon enough a finished product. You're then free to spawn another terror.

Luckily for me, in my writing I've been supplied with a never ending supply of morning after pills.

and thats all I have to say about that
