A positive glimpse into my writing process

My writing process is not nearly as painful as Chel White's is. White talks about breaking into a cold sweat and wondering if he's going to die. Slightly over dramatic. Writing is fun for me, and not exactly a long and grueling process. I even find it to be a bit relaxing. (For those of you who are reading this and dread writing try not to think I'm crazy. Hear me out.) Personally I love creative writing. It reminds me that I have a voice that people can relate to and I find it calming to be able to express myself through the written word. I don't have to stress over a topic to write about. It just comes naturally as soon as my pen touches the paper. It's like my thoughts go where they need to and I don't have to try to stir the pot first to get them to react. But I'll be honest, not all writing is like skipping through a field of daisies. Let's take essays for example. I hate essays... not necessarily to the point where I think I might drive off a cliff like White suggests, but maybe to the point where I may have to walk away from my writing because my pen and my thoughts just don't want to see eye to eye. Writing essays could possibly be considered a form of torture, though writing them isn't the end of the world. I mean who really wants to deal with a bunch of rules and regulations on how you can and can not write? And honestly, who in their right mind would get enjoyment out of being forced to write about a topic that nearly bores you to tears? If writing only consisted of writing what we want when we want I feel like the world would finally be at peace. Creative writing makes me feel like I'm splashing through a freshly fallen puddle of rain with a smile and a laugh. There's a hint of excitement and freedom when my thoughts and my pen coincide.
