WHY WRITE ?

The best thing about writing is that moment where the feature catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it's about and why you're doing it and what they are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising and it's magic and wonderful and strange.You don't live there always when you write. Mostly it's a long hard walk. Sometimes it's a trudge through fog and you're scared you've lost your way and can't remember why you set out in the first place.But sometimes you fly, and that pays for everything. And I cannot wait to get back to it....
