I've been thinking a lot lately about why I write. I sit down, at my mobile desk (that's the great thing about laptops--you can take them anywhere your lap is going) and I write. I revise. I write more. I revise more than I write, and I repeat this process. Why?
I can just hear the band strike up the intro of "These are a Few of My Favorite Things".
I love telling stories. I love feeling them develop, plunging into the eyes of my characters, and escaping into the reality of a different world. And I love sharing that journey with others so they can experience it.
Well said! It's the love of story and character that helps us keep going when the writing and revision prove challenging.
