The Joy of Writing
The joy of writing comes from creating a story. I'm in total control, like being God. If I need somebody to accomplish some purpose, I create a character. If I need a circumstance for something to happen, I arrange it. I even can make the weather whatever I want. It's so much fun!
I don't mean to be disrespectful by feeling like God when I write. God is a creative being, and since he made us in his image, we're creative beings. Creating something, accomplishing some purpose, is enjoyable because that's what God means for us to do, just as he means for birds to fly and fish to swim.
If my writing entertains anybody, making them laugh, or causes them to think, considering something they haven't contemplated before, so much the better! I don't want to write only for myself, but to connect with my readers on a meaningful level.
