Tirza Schaefer asked Kevin A. Kuhn:

What is the one thing you enjoy most about writing?

Kevin A. Kuhn The one thing I enjoy most is when inspiration strikes. Novel writing can be a grind at times, and I certainly hit my share of roadblocks. It might be as simple as word choice or as big as a gaping plot hole, but any one of these can leave you feeling rattled and stalled. Sometimes you make do and hope to fix it during the rewrite, other times it forces you to walk away for a bit. Every time it happens, a little fear and insecurity can creep in. So when a great idea bursts into your brain, it’s a rush. For me it often happens during a nature walk. In fact, when I get stuck, I intentionally go for a walk in the woods and it seems to open up creative pathways in my thinking. That imaginative rush not only solves the problem at hand, but it seems to give me energy and reinvigorate my writing.
