WHO IS YOUR BAD INFLUENCE? – Black Velvet Seductions

Have you ever had the experience of knowing you should be working, but the intoxicating presence of somebody, a light, a warmth that stops you from doing any work at all? The feeling is very much like a teenage crush, intense and addictive. You spend time waiting for them to show up, like a kid waiting for the ice cream van. It is akin to the hook of a story, that just wants you to read one more page, reach the end of one more chapter. It is the feeling that you know you should be somewhere or do something, but you have to continue writing before that muse evaporates into the ether. Surely this is something we grow out of? God, I hope not!

Have you ever been caught up in this maelstrom of feelings? Have you ever captured this level of intensity in your writing?
