I got introduced to this term from someone and I have to say its quite accurate both in my wargaming and a number of other activities I indulge in. what say you?

I do that when I'm writing, and know what the hell I'm writing about.
But yeah, I can identify with this in just about anything. I used to piss off my coworkers because I could be so immersed in what I was doing that I wouldn't hear them talking to me.
it was a pretty significant component of my dissertation research and I've be discussing it since around 2005 or so... :)
I get into a flow every now and then but I wish it would happen more...really makes me feel alive and happy.
I'd say it's ironic that the very first reply brought up the use of "the flow" as applied to writing, eh Star?

I totally become lost in the flow at times when I do a task, whether work related or during my leisure time. And woe to anyone who disturbs my flow for I become very very grumpy when that happens. 8)

Hey Banzai Cat-
You totally nailed it with the avatar, dude. ;D
I say that one is a keeper.
Grumpy Banzai Cat seems rather natural, doesn't it? ;)
Is he grumpy? Looks more focused to me.
^To be fair he might be prepping to fly his bomb-laden cat-box full speed into an armada of dog-house carriers currently threatening his beloved country of Cat-Nippon...

It's not uncommon for me to get into this state when I'm reading, gaming, and (on occasion) writing. Wish I could do it more often.
