How Does Writing Make You Feel?

I read that Heinrich Heine heard the rustling of eagle's wings above him as he wrote, and sometimes I feel like I'm hearing that too. It's revising that makes me feel like I'm hitting my head against the screen.
 
I feel a sense of accomplishment, even though it is no doubt quite unjustified.
 
Writing...

Writing makes me feel involved. Writing makes me feel like I matter.
Writing makes me feel like I can actually do something with my hands.

Writing makes me feel intelligent.

Writing makes me feel like I am enabled.

Writing makes me feel all the positives about life, society and the universe are actually true; it makes me feel like they have actual substance. Writing makes me feel like it's the only thing secure against what people tell me.

Writing makes me feel a lot of things I couldn't feel otherwise because those methods and forms of stimulus are fake, dishonest, disingenuous and unreliable.
 
At the moment I should write instead of roaming websites and forums. Why don't I? I think it's because I am tired and the puts a hurdle up for me to be able to start the engine of creativity....or I am lazy.

While writing I feel great and a few times I obsess and keep on writing till I started typing gibberish. Sometimes the gibberish turns out great.
 
When everything's working, it's like magic. I'm literally in a different place---seeing the sights, smelling the smells, and listening over the shoulder of my characters as they speak. When it's not working...it's like trying to push a two-by-four through a meat grinder.
 
I like to write everything in Arabic or English and I' am always trying to improve this skill especially in English.
I feel when I write that I can translate my feelings in my own way and send the message immediately to the reader's mind.
 
^^You probably didn't have that in gym class.

Never did too well with the rope either---that's why my protagonist can do it...a literary compensation mechanism :lol:

I'm 6'4" and weigh 250 pounds...gravity has never been my friend :blink: But when I'm writing (and calling the shots in that special world that exists between my ears), the possibilities are---shall we say...greatly enhanced :cool:

It's like reading,you go to places you never been or never will go,LOL
 
It makes me feel drained and vulnerable all the while accomplished and light-chested. Working on a fictional (fictional in most details, but taken solely from true events) story/novel right now taken from my past and my biggest obstacle is worrying how the people around me will think when they read it.
