Goodreads asked K.I. Zachopoulos:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

K.I. Zachopoulos Well, It's not always rainbows and butterflies.
Sometimes it's too complex. It's like impregnating yourself in order to give birth to new ideas. You have the sperm and you have the egg. That's the things that inspire you and the things that you've already digested and placed in your body. And you create.
Ask a woman how happy she is while giving birth. Now ask her how happy she is for holding her baby.
Creating is a bizzare procedure. Sometimes it's stressy and frenetic. At other times it's ecstatic and full of magic. However, holding your materialized idea in your hands is a thing of beauty. It's a child. It's not perfect but it's yours and you want to show it around and be proud of it and make others happy.
