So for awhile now I've wanted to be a creative writer. Writing a book is on my goal list and I've always felt intuitively that writing is something I would enjoy and even more, something I need to do, just to express myself.

Then, a few weeks ago, like a switch had been flipped I just started writing, and now it's all I think about, I can't stop. I've spent huge stretches of time just writing, not even stopping to eat. I couldn't be happier, but I'm also perplexed, because for the life of me I can't identify what the trigger was, what the thing was that got me started. I would love to know what it is so I can use it again, and it would be wonderful to be able to tell others about it, but I can't figure it out.

So, I'm wondering, what does it for everyone else? What turns a thought or a goal in to real action? How do you go from A to B?
