The Catharsis. No, Seriously, I'm horribly introverted. I can talk a lot without saying much, but when I write, I can cast my emotions, my hopes, fears, and dreams onto the characters. In them I can correct my mistakes, or experiment with my darkest desires.

I go to my day job, or talk to myself. I often record my own thoughts into an audio device, and play them back to myself.
Sometimes, when I'm really stuck, I get out of the house. I'm lucky in a way, that I get to travel across Ontario. Sometimes, when I'm focussed on the journey, the ideas find their own way into my head.
