The last time I experienced this was with THE BOOK. I woke up one morning with a very strong pull toward the blank page. In three days, after a MANIC writing marathon, I finished the first draft. Never happened to me like this before, and I can't help but wonder whether something happened in my sleep to trigger such an urgent need to get the story out. It is a fascinating thought!Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540680640951847354.post-10007047609407825652013-02-11T00:22:21.358-08:002013-02-11T00:22:21.358-08:00Oh yes!
