I find the rush of adrenaline, when the story hits you all at once and you are left exhausted and slightly dazed a hour plus later, the most fun part of the writing process.

For me the most fun part is beginning to write an idea that suddenly takes its own course and redirects the path of my story, and in doing so I find myself expressing an interest or belief that I was unaware I held. It's a beautiful thing to give expression to something I did not know I felt.

What I enjoy most about writing is , just seeing where my mind goes.
I like finding inspiration in every day things and making it into a adventure.
I enjoy writing exercises as well. just quick things that get your mind moving .

Latest Review: "Beginners only dance book" by Allen g darnel

Post by Amheiser »

I enjoy the brainstorming part of creating stories because I do that with my son and/or daughter. We talk about the stories we want to write and give each other ideas and inspiration. I also like the character building and making a person come to life, and I enjoy the research that goes into all the aspects of a story like where and when the story takes place and all the things that make the stories feel very real.

Fun about writing?

That moment of synch when your scene (and later your book) just "clicks" and you know you've had a good writing session.

The most empowering part of writing anything really is when you've freshly printed it/finished writing the final draft and you can just sit back and read the composition you have just worked your butt of to finish- you see all your hard work pay of beautifully as the piece just completely flows.

Of all the things I love about writing, my favorite thing is working on the rough draft in pen. There such a feeling of potential with it like its clay ready to be sculpted. I know its silly and i eventually do go and put it on computer, but nothing beats the feel of a note pad and pen.

I love exploring my thoughts, I feel that when writing, you're using your imagination to indirectly process your thoughts splashing them out onto a page! :)

Getting paid. That's the only real reason to write.

Building characters, researching, and inserting an idea that surprisingly fits the plot and even improves it.

I love the point at which a new idea comes into your head. It's like being in a store and seeing a new item you never knew was out. You can't wait to buy it and take it home. In writing I can't wait to get the new idea down and see where it leads to next.

I personally love forming my characters and lodging them in treacherous situations. (:

I love how an idea can be hatched from almost anything and how it can snowball into something great and entertaining.
