Definitions Part Deux: Storycrack

Storycrack
--noun

1. a particularly addicting idea or WIP.
2. an expression describing a situation in which the writer simply cannot stop thinking about, dreaming about, giggling about, or writing about a particular story.
3. the sort of thing that keeps writers coming back for more, despite all the abuse heaped on them from edits, betas, and the unflagging rejection of the writing world.

Origin:
a marriage between the word story and the word crack, two addictive substances that together form an unstoppable force.

--Synonyms.
story addiction

--Antonyms

  2. Heh, I wonder what your definition would be for a story that doesn't make one obsessive but is like a long slow addiction?
