Everything.

I love the insanity that precedes writing. The moment when an idea strikes me and I begin to unwind it in my mind, turning it over and dissecting it. Something small (and completely random) expands into a larger piece. The fact that my brain multi-tasks (ideas strike at strange moments) is a plus.

More often than not I have no idea which direction a story is going to go in until I start writing it. This can be problematic. I'm terrible at planning ahead, but at the same time the actual writing (and discovery) of plot, characters, and other devices, is (though frustrating at times)an adventure.

Most of all I love having completed a project. It gives me a deep sense of satisfaction and renews my belief that writing is what I was meant to do. Of course everything doesn't come out as planned, but that's okay. A win here or there, I'll take it.

Also, it's deeply gratifying when people connect with my work. It makes me realize there are other people out there like me. Hi kindreds!

But that's another story. :)
