Like you, I get twitchy when I'm not writing. I will do a lot of creative work-arounds to make excuses for not writing, but in the end...
I remember at some point in the late 1990s, probably closer to early 2000s, when in a fit of frustration I told my husband that I was going to stop writing. Stop trying to "be" a writer. Give up on ever seeing any of my work published. It was a low point and I was just so frustrated.
Yeah, so, flashforward by about a month or two and I was working on a story idea. I just could not NOT write. I'm not sure who I would be without writing, good or ill. :/
