Who else gets a rush of adrenaline as they're writing really intense scenes?

I'm working on my August challenge story, and I was all "in the zone," and I got to a stopping point and... you know, stopped... and I realized that I'm all kind of shaky inside, and my heart's kind of racing, and I've got that adrenaline rush feeling, like when you're really nervous or excited about something.  I totally get that way whenever I write a part that is really intense - really angsty or exciting or action-packed, whatever.  I get so into it, and then I stop, and it's like whoa LOL.  I bet I'm funny to watch when I'm actually writing like that LOL.

Does anyone else get like that when they're writing certain parts?  I just think it's funny how involved we get when we're writing our own stories... and reading other people's too, really, cause I get the same way when I'm reading intense parts LOL.

I get such a rush/high when I'm motivated and had been writing constantly. Like that surge of inspiration that won't quit? It's like a drug lol.

Yes I get that rush when i'm writing an action scene or a scene i've been really excited to write and have been waiting and waiting for the chance to finally get to it in the story. I love when that happens!

Me too!

I just posted the story I was working on.  I only got through a third of my idea out, but I did meet the challenge requirements.  Yay for sequels?

I get that rush when I finish a scene that's been giving me trouble. Like the other day I was stuck on this one part that was maybe a page, but when it finally clicked into place I breezed through the rest of the chapter because I was totally on an adrenaline high.

Writing really is an addictive drug. Gotta love it!


That's an awesome feeling, and also an awesome writing topic Julie! I'm glad to see one of those. It's been a while.

I love that feeling!  It really is addictive.  I wish I could write something decent every day because I find that I am always in a better mood when I wake up the morning after being productive with my writing.  Even on a workday, it gives me something to smile about as I get ready for work, and gives me something to look forward to continuing or at least reading over when I get home.  The problem is, by the time I get home, I am usually too exhausted to write anything else, so then the streak is broken.  And that's why I don't write something every day during the school year LOL.  If I write something every weekend, that's doing well.

But yeah, I absolutely love the feeling of being really "into" a story, whether it's one I'm writing or one I'm reading.

How about "I can't remember what I wanted to write even though I could see it so clearly in my head!"? lmao
