Re-invigorated -- Already???

What is it about articulating thoughts, writing them down and then sharing them with others that releases the emotion?  It's like the thoughts were simmering around in my brain, stewing themselves in their own agony.  I think there might be a certain formula to the process, the stewing can't be under-done, although it can certainly be over-done until it festers into a rotting mess.  And perhaps every instance has it's own stewing time, it can't be opened until it matures into critical mass.  But if left for the right amount of time, simmering and stewing until the emotions are ripe and ready to be released, then the process is complete and the brain is free to think again. 

I feel like this since my last post of enthusiasm-less writing woes and no-goes.  And it didn't take but a day or so after my post for me to feel released.  Was it the process of stewing, release, and support?  One of these items, or all in combination?  I'm voting for the combo.

Anyway, I'm starting to feel invigorated again, although I do confess to a touch of embarrassment that it might seem as if I cried wolf in my whininess, because I got over it so soon.  But I think if I hadn't whined, I wouldn't have released.

Part of the process was also finally finishing a story that had taken far too long to write.  I wasn't letting myself work on any other stories until that one was done.  It's not done to my satisfaction, but it's subbed, and that's a relief, even though I know it's going to come home hanging its head in embarrassment for not being up to snuff.  I think I can spruce it up and give it a better ending and send it back out the door.

Now I'm working on lots of other orphaned stories and planning on a big sub party this month.
