This post: so awesomely true it probably doesn’t need me agreeing with it. But I feel the need to join you in the celebration. Writing *is* terrific. So glad you’re enjoying it.
Any particular reason for this epiphany?

So very true, Justine. It’s a matter of perspective and if you get it right it’s the best feeling in the world.

I agree, writing is awesome… you can do it well! When your brain just won’t work and you can’t think of the right word, it is painful.
But I do agree, writing is fun and oh so satisfying
