Comments on: How Obsessive Are You?

My wife must be a bit OCD as well. Love your blog, I typically read 3-4 entries at a time as I don’t get to them every day, but you have your own folder in my inbox, so always easy to find. Thanks for the laughs.

My husband also occasionally points at me with an accusing kind of expression when Sheldon goes on certain tangents. I definitely have my own idiosyncratic obsessions of the right way to do certain things, but where obsession really gets me is in mood and momentum. When I’m in the mood to do something and I get started, that momentum takes me over and I can barely stop to do anything else. Writing is like that is a HUGE way…realizing that I need to eat something because I’m getting a little woozy is such a massive pain in the ass. My head is in the book and I don’t want to take it out for any reason as mundane as EATING! I read books this way (one sitting baby, one sitting) and I watch tv this way (two seasons of Supernatural on DVD in two and a half days!)

That pretty much sums it up for me. I can’t help but wonder if creatives develop OCD tendencies because they don’t want their left brain to feel left out.

I’m obsessive too. I love that my husband decided he doesn’t want to grocery shop with me now that he’s retired. He always ran away with the cart and wouldn’t go where I wanted to go! I follow him around the house closing drawers and cupboards he leaves open. And my granddaughter loves to mess with the magnets on my refrigerator. She turns them out of alignment, and then watches to see how long it takes me to notice and straighten them up.

I am UBER obsessive. With a lot of random things. It drives my family insane. But that’s okay because we all started out pretty sanity challenged as it is.
I don’t mind being obsessive. Along as I remember to curb my appetites. 😉
Love this post! I wondered if other creative types were obsessive with things.

yes! talent alone is not what it is required to become a successful writer, every writer needs the required passion, consistency and some level of resilience to scale through.
