A Little Guilty Pleasure

As a writer, it's hard to come by new and creative sayings or ideas. Writing is one of my guilty pleasures and I freely admit it. At the moment I have to stories in very slow progress. It's hard to balance all the stuff I have goin on. For me, writing a story is like creating another part of yourself. I put my heart and soul into the characters and in result, they share my personalities, subtle habits and fears. Their world is influenced by my world. I am fascinated by the human mind, and it's ability to perceive different emotions. For instance, in my story dreams give the reader an idea of what the character is thinking. I feel that cooking and writing are interconnected in the way they are produced. I take new thoughts and ideas and let them sit in my mind. I mix them with an array of creative plots and twists. My final ingredients are the emotions and thoughts of the characters. I sprinkle it with a little bit of opinion and it is cooked. I now have my story.
