Quite plainly, I love the act of writing. The actual technique of nerves sending messages from one's brain to their fingertips is astonishing in my opinion. Magic - that's what it is! The magic in crafting a message for others to read is what drives me to finish a play, a screenplay, poetry, a Facebook post. My writing interests have a deep root in dramatic fiction and fantasy, but the main joy that keeps me going is the process. Whatever I'm writing, whether it's articles, research papers, pros, poetry, movie reviews, or cookbook recipes, the fact that I'm writing at all is the thing that puts a smile on my face.
