Here is the thing.
I've quit 14 days ago. I don't crave a cigarette constantly, it's more like "Oh I could murder a chocolate bar right now" than "OMG must BREATHE!"
That's the good part.
Here is the bad part.
I write. Always, constantly, my brain buzzing and chattering away, stories wanting out on paper whether they are any good or not.
A few years ago I stopped smoking for 8 months - and started again.
Part of the reason was because the clatter and buzzing just stopped.
Well, it's happening again. I still have stuff going on in my head, but I can't write it down.
(Forgive me if that all sounds really weird. I have full color surround sound movies going on in my head usually and I write down what I "see" and "hear". Kinda hard to explain.)
The movie is still there, the sound is still there. The ability to put it on paper is... gone. Again.
We haven't smoked indoors for years, so it's not the fact that I don't smoke in front of the computer - I didn't do that in the first place.
But I used to go outside to smoke, collect my thoughts and then type it all up in a mad rush.
I still go outside, just now I take deep breaths instead of that smoke, but the mad rush no longer happens and it tempts me to start again to be perfectly honest.
If you write, and this has happened to you, and you got around it somehow, please, please share what you did.
