Motivation or Mania

My mind is aflutter with wings of inspiration, little sparks spur me to action

… Flight of ideas, thoughts racing.

I pour this drive into my work with newly discovered ferocity

… Increase in goal-directed activity.

I lay awake full of energy, I must get up and write, release the valve

… Decreased need for sleep.

I should eat, I should clean, I should go to work, but waste this creativity?

… Excessive involvement in pleasure related activities, potential for painful consequence.

But those consequences aren’t for me, right? I’m great at this, inspired, I’m going to be wonderful

… Inflated self-esteem, grandiosity.

This idea is gold, this is my destiny, it alone will get me where I need to be; that would be great as well, yes, truly unique, that's the one.

… Where was I, oh yes, distractibility.
