It's taking over my life!

It's just dawned on me that I think that writing is taking over my life completely.  I seem to be looking at things in two ways:

1) Can it help/inspire my writing?
2) Is it getting in the way of my writing?

When the answer is the second one, I start looking at ways of stopping it from hindering me. 
Is this behaviour a bit too obsessive?

  3. You are obbessed, but it can be a good thing. Just make sure if it's getting in the way of you writing, it's important like family, you know the OTHER important things. ;0)

  6. Peggy - Does this mean that the things I'm not obsessed with (like work) will go away? ;o)

    Cassie - We should set up a group. something like "Obsessive Writers Anonymous." Oh, hang on, isn't that called NaNoReviMo?

    Jenny - Thanks for the reminder. My wife and kids are ALWAYS on the important list. :o)

    Abby - Dedication? Or madness? :o)

    Carrie - Haha! Did I say I'd listen to the answers? ;o)

  7. You make me laugh. That's totally normal for it to consume you.

  8. It's just part of the natural process in the life of a writer. Normal for us. Eccentric and odd to the outsiders. Embrace it.

  9. Erin - Looks like I missed my calling in life. I should have been an "Erin smile maker" ;o)

    Karen - Every one already thinks I'm odd. lol

  10. I know - it is almost impossible to balance writing and everything else!

  11. Very true E.D. I think I might give up balancing, and fall headfirst into the writing :o)
