I have been enjoying writing in the essay format here on Medium. The biggest trouble I have is that when I sit down to write, my brain switches off. That is where my list of writing prompts kicks in. I keep a file of ideas that I write down as they come to me. Every night, I find myself telling my brain to shut the hell up. It wakes me up and starts flooding me with writing project ideas at about 2:30 AM so I can't get back to sleep. I do keep a notebook by the bedside. That helps me record some of that brainstorm so the next day's round of writer's block is not so painful. I love writing and I hate writing. Does that make me a writer?
