Writing Rituals There is, reportedly, a clinically diagnosable condition known as hypergraphia. It is characterized by an intense urge to write or draw. People speculate that Brandon Sanderson, that prodigious producer of speculative fiction, has it; ditto Stephen King. Isaac Asimov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Vincent Van Gogh, and Sylvia Plath have also been named as possible candidates for this irregularity, also known as graphomania. I mention this condition only to report, sadly, that I do not have it. My list of brilliant, sure-to-succeed ideas for books far exceeds the time I put into writing them. I have no excuse for my lack of output other than that, at times, I just don’t wanna write. https://writerunboxed.com/2026/04/23/87260/ #CRAFT #Writinglife #rituals #writingrituals
