I've taken to introducing myself around school as being probably (more than?) a little insane, since insanity and artistry seem to go together. People's responses to that are quite fun. I <em>did</em> find my mind saddled with an unexpected story idea that I've decided to make my unofficial (and few days' late) NaNoWriMo entry. For once I actually have a story idea that's straightforward and comparatively easy to write. ("Not easy" would include writing from a paranoid character's perspective, using an oblivious 13-year-old to convey a story about a woman with PPD, or a dually framed narrative with enough necessary backstory to make the scene ordering a nightmare.) ^ What Mr. Devon said.

I'm pretty sure I'd place that last one much higher up on the list. “Writing requires discipline, courage, time, and even a strong dose of insanity.”
