REALIZATION !!

Just like the last few times I wrote here after reading Martha's BIG TIME blog, here comes the REALIZATION !!

The Circle of Composing Gig
Hyper-Inspired Beginning, then the clearly stated period of 9 stages
Red underlined is the stage I am in now.

1. Always an Excessively Perfect LONG Draft

2. So-called "Writer Block" Realization

3. Proscrastinate (Often a House Cleaning Season)

4. Hyper-Motivated "The Deadline Factor" Realization

5. Draft-to-Craft Aggressiveness

6. The "Oh F*ck I'm Screwed!" Realization

7. Everything Cram

8. 24hrs Deadline (AFTER) Cram

9. After War Knock-out Celebration

Repeat steps 1-9 one to three times a month and go throughly insane in the process

PS: The last stage can be just knockout, no celebration. But usually, will pass out finally... then the next day "How did I finish that crap in 24 hours" Conclusion. Then, "Ha Ha Ha" mood for quite some time. Sometimes the mood overlaps with a new circle.

DUH !
