The hardest part about writing is waiting for "The Bang".
The Bang is something we all experience in one way or another,depending on life style,age,interests or whatever.Sometimes we trundle along through life without one then,when we least expect it,we get The Bang.It could be anything,your favourite bands new single,a new car,a new series on TV,a new movie,a pop or movie star or your latest partner.Whatever it is,you know you've had one because all your hair feels like its standing on end and you get a rush like you wouldn't believe.Inside your head you say to yourself "Wow!Look at that!" (Or words to that effect) and you're off.
That is The Bang.
But the hardest part about writing is The Bang.Without it you can't get into what it is you're trying to create and it falls flat.Or, worse still,never gets finished.It's dull and uninspiring.So you sit in your lonely solitude looking at your screen or piece of paper waiting for it to hit you,watching the last line in a vain hope it'll do something itself.So,the best thing to do is leave it,walk away and do something else.And,at the back of your mind,you're waiting for The Bang.Then,sometimes even weeks later,you could be watching TV,playing a game,driving your car or whatever and it'll hit you.You realise what went wrong or the last word of the last line should have been something else,or you needed another element a little earlier to get it moving again.You get the rush,and suddenly you're off again.
Don't look for it,it's gonna find you.And when it does your creative talents will give you the rewards you want,which is the point of all this.
So what was The Bang for me to create all this?That's easy.It was the ship,as simple as that.It was all I had to start with and I had to make up everything else to get it to work.And,for me,that was all I needed.
