So, do you have withdrawals if you don't get to write for a long period of time? Alternately, what sort of withdrawals do you have?

What's a withdrawal? Is that like a writers block?

It is when you don't write for a long time. It is kinda like writers block but kinda not.

Oh, sorry Raffy. When I just want to write something but can't think of anything to write, I write down all my favorite worlds. I know random but it's kinda fun.

No, not writer's block! It's where you actually feel bad when you haven't written. Say you get really busy and don't write for three days and you start to get the shakes. Think along the same lines as having withdrawals from drugs :P

Well, that's another reason among many why I opened up the VERSUS:TOTAL SUPREMACY thread...maybe it'll help get the creative juices flowing back out of people.
But still, when I don'twrite for a long time, I tend to take it out on others, much to Azrael's glee and Michael's dismay...

I have it all the time. :( It makes me miserable. It's worse when I try to write and can't, I get all ... urgh and depressive. It's not fun. :p

I get that a lot when I spend too much time on writing forums and not enough time writing. Then I feel guilty and have a mad spurge of writing and then . . . Stop again. It happens several times a week. :(
Though it'd be better when I get my laptop and I won't have the internet and my family distracting me when I'm writing. :)

I've been having it for a few weeks now. (Editing takes up so much time :glare:.) It makes me really mad when I don't - and/or can't - write. I think I've broken out, though. I finally started something that I think I will continue, and was so into it the other day that I actually tried writing while my mom drove the car. (Which results in a interesting beginning for my story, and very messy handwriting :P)
It really doesn't phase me to say the truth. Its nice if I can, but I don't become distraught if I can't at the moment

Er, well, I haven't been writing seriously for long enough to know if I always have writing withdrawals, but, as my computer keys are majorly messed up, and I can't retrieve my writing, I am presently becoming edgy and sort of cranky. Mi familia cannot figure out what is wrong with me.

I have writing withdrawals (not to be confused with withdrawals writing! :D) very frequently. That particularly is when I am in school. I go to a boarding school, you see, and there anyone has spare time withdrawals. And in addition to spare time withdrawals I have writing withdrawals (gosh, how hard it is to type that word in!).

If i don't take the time to produce something quality, I tend to end up writing randomly on scraps pf paper all over everwhere I go...

No, but in the holidays I get bored because I have nothing to do without it.
I have withdraws on everything. Writing, gaming and artwork. I have a big fear of failure or disappointment, it gets the best of me.

Well... it depends. I'm not finding a poem in everything, but I still find one if I see something interesting enough, so I'm not sure.
I misunderstood your question when I voted. :(
