Neurocognitive discussion of why people do write or do not write Haven't completely finished it yet, but an amazing look into the creative mind. As a writer (or writer-wannabe), I'm still intrigued by the brain's inner workings to produce creative material and wonder in vain why mine has seemed to give up and won't! A little like reading a college textbook but still very well-written. A little too much peripheral psycho-babble. I liked the areas of focus on the writer's issues, with block, and hypergraphia, but sometimes too much psycho-babble, and it lost me....I can study that in class, I don't want to read about it here. I wanted Flaherty to stay more on target with the intention of the book. Nonetheless, it was fairly interesting (in those parts). A little too much peripheral psycho-babble.

Why is it that some writers struggle for months to come up with the perfect sentence or phrase while others, hunched over a keyboard deep into the night, seem unable to stop writing? In The Midnight Disease, neurologist Alice W. Flaherty explores the mysteries of literary creativity: the drive to write, what sparks it, and what extinguishes it. She draws on intriguing examples from medical case studies and from the lives of writers, from Franz Kafka to Anne Lamott, from Sylvia Plath to Stephen King. Flaherty, who herself has grappled with episodes of compulsive writing and block, also offers a compelling personal account of her own experiences with these conditions.
