Write about Obsessions

"Judge a moth by the beauty of its candle," said the poet Rumi.


Does your writing reveal an obsession with something amazing or amusing?  Do you write about aspects of life confuse and confound?  Obsession with writing itself provides material to write about.

Make a list of three obsessions you would like to pursue that you haven't considered before.

Write from your point of view deep into a cavern of obsession. Also develop a character to fly to the flame.

Writers need obsessions to help them create works of wonder.  Always add a spark of humor.
