Anyone ever get a writer's high, like a runner's high? [View all]

...you might start out carefully, maybe with some apprehension about your task. Words are turned over and over to make them fit in place.

Somewhere along the way you feel a little lighter with inspiration, and you realize that you're inside of the story; in a sublime moment of mind and word which you now own so completely that you can go anywhere; elevate yourself to any height you choose; are able to touch and experience everything as if in one of those dreams that feel as if you're hovering a few feet off of the ground and traveling in your own special universe; and the words flow like you're narrating from your fluid and vivid mindscape.

I have. You?
