Personally I love the freedom that I can have in my writing to express myself. But it's not about how it makes me feel when I write that I love the best.
I love it when people write back after reading something I have written and say to me "that really helped me understand" or "That's exactly what I needed to hear today". The best part, truly, is when someone emails me and tells me that my book saved their life. That has happened a few times to me now. It humbles me to think that there are people who have my book by their bed, in their handbag, they call it their bible, they refer to my work for grounding, for solace, and to help them remember who they really are. That's why I do it, and the validation that it's working is truly amazing.
